BHS, Half Man Half Biscuit

You and Yours

Available for over a year

The collapse of BHS has left 11,000 staff facing unemployment, and many more with questions about the £571m hole in the company's pension funds. We'll be reporting on the select committee appearance of Chief Executive Darren Topp and Dominic Chappell of Retail Acquisitions which bought BHS for a pound. We'll look at the trend for people to use online sites like Just Giving to crowd fund funerals. Also new guidance comes from the regulator, The Charity Commission, designed to stem the flow of controversial stories surrounding fundraising. They want charity trustees to realise that they are responsible for what fundraising companies do on their behalf - and the buck stops with them when a scandal happens. And with Bike Week around the corner, we'll hear from Steve Harman and Nick Dawes, two cyclists who have challenged themselves to bike to every UK location mentioned in the lyrics of Birkenhead's finest - Half Man Half Biscuit.
