Emma Cantrell MBE is a visionary leader, consultant, and social entrepreneur with over a decade of experience in the charity sector. She’s the founder of First Days Children’s Charity, where she built a thriving organisation from the ground up, ensuring financial stability, growing a dedicated team, and supporting families in need. As its CEO, and now Chair of Trustees, she has been instrumental in shaping its strategy and vision.
Kenneth meanwhile, recounts his experience as the organiser of a recent stag do, we join James for the New Financial Year celebrations and we review punting in Cambridge. Things get a little heavier as we discuss how childrens’ needs are not being met and peek behind the curtain of middle-class fly-tipping. We’ve got the differences between small and large charities as well as small businesses and charities. We’ve got social media pressures, the importance of trustees, where the money in the system is heading, plus the hope and enjoyment behind all the above.
This episode comes packed with references to a recent report ‘Breaking Point: The Mental Health Crisis in Small Organisation Leadership’ conducted by Fair Collective in partnership with NCVO and with funding from The Talent Fund which can be found on our Do More Good website.
