Snell to unite WA givers in new way

It is a tough time to head up a charity, especially one squeezed between a post-boom corporate sector and embattled frontline charities.

Kath Snell is the new chief executive of United Way, a charity that chairwoman Julie Keene said — in its 2016 annual report — needed strong changes in revenue trends this year to ensure its long-term future.

United Way helps companies support the more than 170 charities it has vetted through direct donations, employee workplace giving and volunteering.

Ms Snell said the charity is a one-stop shop that matches companies’ social responsibility goals with community needs.
