Following a decade of radical change in policy and funding in children's early intervention services and with the role of the third sector under increased scrutiny, this timely book assesses the shifting interplay between state provision and voluntary organisations delivering intervention for children, young people and their families. Using 100 voices from the frontline, it provides vivid accounts of the lived experiences of charitable groups and offers crucial insights into the impact of recent social policy decisions on their work. Telling the story of how the landscape of children's early intervention services has changed over the last decade, the author highlights important lessons for future policy while demonstrating the immeasurable value of voluntary organisations working in this challenging terrain.

Belgian charities play a key role in humanitarian and development aid, both nationally and internationally. It is therefore essential for them to be able to organise effective fundraising campaigns. The persuasive methods of these campaigns often make use of the empathic character of donors, and this plays an essential role in their decision to donate. This thesis first presents a review of the scientific literature on the variables influencing donor behaviour, with particular attention to the emotional motivations and empathy of the donor. Then, results of a qualitative study conducted among fundraisers in various Belgian charities are presented and discussed. The results of this study show that, despite the existing theoretical tools and studies, the design of persuasive fundraising messages is mainly based on the know-how of the designers. These campaigns put forward content oriented towards the reality of the field and reject the use of shocking and sensationalist content. Finally, according to the interviewees, the empathy of the donor positively influences his donation intention and is preferred to the pure appeal of negative emotions.
