Cracking Charity Chat – Learning from the Leaders
Cracking Charity Chat is a podcast for voluntary sector folk who want to hear from senior colleagues across the sector – those who are among the best in their area.
Thought leaders and people with a unique story.
Guests to date include: Karl Wilding (NCVO), Kate Collins (Teenage Cancer Trust), James Jopling (Samaritans Scotland), Joe Jenkins (Children Society) and Nick Temple (Social Investment Business) to name a few.
Each podcast aims to:
- Give examples of how things have worked in practice.
- Demonstrate how good leaders approach the given subject area.
- Provide top tips that people can apply in their organisation.

Want to be a guest? A few things to note
I’ve had quite a few PR people get in touch. Thanks. However, I choose all my guests myself and don’t want to promote anything or work to media deadlines. However, if you’re an individual at the top of your game and have some good chat, do drop me a line and we’ll see if we can meet.
