...The person that Swaminathan Iyer is It has taken 19 years. 19 long years of writing useless answers to useless questions (Not accounting for the three years I was unable to hold a pen/pencil properly. Make no mistake, I’m 22), of filling bundles of valuable paper with non-sense, for me to place my lazy bum on this chair to answer the most pertinent of questions (and here I am, not wasting paper anymore. Oh! The irony!), who is Swaminathan Iyer? Disclaimer : To make things easy for me for the rest of my Iliad, Swaminathan Iyer will be shortened to Swami. Its short, and to tell you the truth, I prefer it that way. And then, when I think about it once the initial surprise of not thinking about this question wears off, isn’t it obvious for me to actually know myself before I pen this? Ok, type this. That is something which takes time, even years perhaps. One has to wait for the right time. But then, how does one know when the right time has come? There, I came up with this philosophical gem! The right time is when you decide its the right time. To tell you the truth, this is harder than it first seemed, but necessary. So, without further ado, let me just get down to it. As preparation for this article, I decided to do some research, I watched some interviews on YouTube to see what exactly interviewers asked the interviewees, to broadcast their life to a wider audience, but then I stumbled upon the Arnab Goswami-Rahul Gandhi interview and decided that I had had enough. I felt...

...How are charities going to have to adapt their fundraising methods in order to connect with young people in the future? Introduction. People over 60 are now more than twice as likely to give to charity as people under 30. Although on average over 60s have more disposable income to give, this is not the only reason for this statistic. This report will investigate not just how much people are giving but more importantly why some under 30s are not giving at all. If many of these 30 year olds are not giving now, what is to say they will when they are 60? Charities are going to have to adapt the way they appeal to the younger generation, through methods such as social media, to prevent the ‘industry’ from falling apart within the next 50 years. There were a number of reasons for this topic being of interest to me: I have been involved in a few sponsored events for charity, and the church I have been brought up in has had regular involvement with the charity world both in London and overseas. I am also interested in the long term in doing some voluntary charity work abroad during a gap year. Is there evidence that something has to be done to engage the younger generation? Between 1980 and 2010 the total share of giving coming from the under-30s fell from 8 per cent in 1980 to 3 per cent in 2010, while the share coming from the over-75s grew from 9 per cent in 1980 to 21 per cent in 2010. This led the ‘Mind the Gap’ report to conclude that ‘The concern is what happens when...
