Abstract
Semi-structured interviews were conducted with senior officers, from 12 charities located in Devon, United Kingdom exploring how they are managing in the current financial scenario, and whether the tenets of value for money (VFM) are being used to manage the organisation. The application of VFM to charities yields fresh insights into the management of charitable organisations and provides a framework for managing during difficult financial periods.
