    Charity podcast - Vic Quinn

    In this podcast Gerry and Harriet have the pleasure of speaking to Vic Quinn, Chair of Trustees of House of Light.  House of Light is a Hull-based charity that offers group peer support and one to one counselling to help people recover from the symptoms associated with perinatal mental health issues. Being a trustee is often described as a position of responsibility, but it’s also one of learning, collaboration, and influence. Vic brings valuable insight from her experience around the board table, where decisions are shaped not just by good intentions, but by strong governance, clear values, and constructive challenge. In this conversation, we’ll explore what surprised her most when she became a trustee, how her thinking has evolved, and why the dynamics of a board - the mix of skills, perspectives and behaviours - matter just as much as formal structures and policies. We’ll also dig into what makes a board truly effective: how trustees can support and challenge each other, stay focused on purpose, and ultimately help a charity thrive. Whether you’re an existing trustee, considering taking on the role, or simply curious about how good governance works in practice, this is a thoughtful and practical discussion on what it takes to serve well at board level.

Rory speaks about his role as Chair and how he supports the Charity’s team to navigate the Charity’s challenges and opportunities. Rory explains the positive impact Hull4Heroes’ services have upon enabling veterans and their families transition to civilian life and to access the support they need when they leave the armed forces.  We discuss the significance of having a ‘one-stop shop’ or ‘single point of contact’ and the vital role of the Charity’s Armed Forces Mobile Outreach Unit in providing welfare services to veterans, particularly in rural and underserved communities.  Rory also talks about the opportunities presented by the VALOUR project. Rory draws upon his role as a non-executive director at J.R. Rix & Sons to bring a great depth of experience and knowledge to his role as Chair of a dynamic and growing Charity.  Rory gives some great advice to charity trustees and Chairs and his approach to his role at Hull4Heroes.

    Family Matters podcast - Divorce

    Welcome to In Perspective: Family Matters — a straight‑talking podcast to help you navigate separation and divorce with clarity and consideration. Thinking about divorce or separation? We bust common myths (no, it doesn’t have to be a dramatic courtroom battle, take years, or cost the earth) and share practical steps you can take right now. We’ll also explore why January is often dubbed “Divorce Month”. After the holidays, many couples take stock and consider the future of their marriage or relationship. The new year creates a natural “reset” where people set resolutions, review budgets, and feel more willing to seek advice they may have put off before Christmas. Tune in for calm, practical guidance—and a little reassurance—when you need it most.

    Charity podcast - Lisa Dawson

    Gerry Morrison and Harriet Wheeldon, specialist legal advisers in the charities sector speak to Lisa Dawson, CEO of Run With It about how to create a new charity and grow it into a significant service provider. Lisa is an innovative charity leader – just like Andy Barber OBE who we spoke to in episode one.  Lisa took her exciting approach to learning and developed an engaging programme to deliver education in fascinating settings.  Imagine learning maths in the real-life context of a football stadium or an airport!  Also finding out about how the stadium and airport operates, not only the pilots and the plane, but the behind the scenes including the catering, the retail, and the operational controls.  All of which opens young people’s eyes to different careers options.  A bus has also been ‘wrapped’ with Run With It’s branding to help raise awareness of the charity and its profile.  All fantastic fun, but serious about learning and increasing young people’s life chances. Lisa’s journey from creating a new charity to growing it is inspirational, and her energy and enthusiasm are infectious.  It was a privilege to spend time with Lisa on our podcast.
