What does it take for a person to make a big impact? What drives them? Where do they find inspiration?
In the brand-new revamped series of Game Changers, Aimee Fuller – two-time Olympian – meets ordinary people who do extraordinary things with a little help from The National Lottery.
This extra special series celebrates the 30th birthday of The National Lottery, and Aimee hears from people who have achieved remarkable things across the UK. From the person who has brought millions of people together through parkrun, to the Discovery Centre attracting a new, diverse, generation to Jodrell Bank. From a voluntary project helping isolated elderly people, to the visionary gym that went viral after helping people with disabilities work up a sweat and get fit.
Aimee discovers how the people who built these projects broke through, and how they continue to bring profound change, inspiration, and collective joy to millions.
Joining us are the likes of Sir Tony Robinson and Adele Roberts, who champion Game Changers across the worlds of arts, heritage, community and sport. They introduce specially created artworks at major landmarks - at Whitby Abbey with its windswept cliffs, at the parkland oasis of St James Park, and the bustling V&A Museum in London.
Join Aimee Fuller on an extraordinary journey.
Game Changers is brought to you by National Lottery players, who raise £30 million each week for good causes across the UK. For more information about projects that help ordinary people, visit: https://www.lotterygoodcauses.org.uk

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
