Dipesh Chhatralia becomes partner in Crowe non-profit team
Crowe has appointed Dipesh Chhatralia to partner in its social purpose and non-profits team. Speaking about his promotion at Crowe, Chhatralia said he was “excited to be joining the Crowe partnership".

The UK charity sector’s income shrank for the first time in eight years following the Covid-19 outbreak, according toresearch from NCVO.
