Jasper Maddox is Senior Correspondent at NFP News, a byline that has become synonymous with incisive coverage of Britain’s charity and non-profit sector over the past decade. Behind the name is a journalist with thirty years of experience, whose decision to write under this identity reflects a commitment to focus purely on the work—free from the weight of past mastheads and established reputations.
The conviction driving this work is simple: the Third Sector deserves journalism as rigorous as the missions it pursues. Under the Maddox name, and three decades before that, this correspondent has been at the centre of every major story—policy upheavals, funding earthquakes, governance crises, and the quiet innovations that reshape how charities operate. The reporting doesn’t follow the sector. It interrogates it.
What distinguishes this work is its ability to cut through institutional language and political spin. Whether pressing a Charity Commission chair on regulatory failures, exposing the human cost of a funding collapse, or profiling the strategists redefining modern philanthropy, Jasper Maddox delivers the clarity that trustees, chief executives, and fundraisers depend on.
The choice of a professional alias allows the journalism to speak for itself, unencumbered by prior affiliations. It’s a practice rooted in a fierce commitment to transparency and independence—a belief that critical journalism isn’t a threat to the sector, but its strongest safeguard.
A sharp critic of corporate media and its often shallow reporting, Jasper has become a voice of reason in an era of information overload. His work dives deep into the stories that matter, from environmental crises and political corruption to social injustices, while calling out the endless parade of trivial headlines that dominate the news cycle. His signature blend of hard-hitting journalism and biting humour has earned him a loyal following and a reputation as a journalist who isn’t afraid to ruffle feathers.
As of the end of November 2025 Jasper has finished his night class in sketching cartoons so be prepared for some great illustrations for the stories we cover!
