Do Gooders is a fresh ensemble workplace sitcom for BBC Radio 4 that takes us behind the curtain of the charity industry and mines the numerous frustrations that come with trying to 'do good' on an industrial scale. The show follows the fundraising events team of a [fictional] midlevel charity, Alzheimer's Alliance.

"AA" are constantly aware that they're never more than one "ice bucket challenge" away from slipping right down the league tables. Compounding external pressures is a fiercely competitive battle between the teams responsible for the two types of events fundraising, Challenge Events (Bike Rides, Marathons) and Virtual Events (Online).
