The Charity Leaders Podcast Thirty Three Percent

Episode 7 and the final show in our first season of The Charity Leaders Podcasts, we were delighted to welcome the leader of the largest charity so far, Chris Sherwood, CEO of the RSPCA. The RSPCA does not need any introduction but maybe some people are not aware of how historical significant it is.
Chris has been in the charity sector for his whole career and knew from an early age this was the route for him - maybe that’s why he became a CEO aged 34 and at just 37 was put in charge of the oldest animal charity in the world. 
Chris is an incredibly humble man, he has achieved amazing success at such a young age but is so focused on the next leaders in both his own charity but in the sector as a while, it is truly inspiring to talk to him and I’m confident everyone will take a lot from our chat with him.
You can find out more about the organisation and get involved here:

Thanks so much to everyone that has helped make this podcast an absolute joy to produce.

Episode 6 of the Charity Leaders Podcast finds us talking to actor turned charity leader, Mike Ward. His passion has always been about helping young people, so the move into charity and not-for-profit work was an obvious one. 
Mike is the CEO of KM Charity Team, which delivers literacy, road safety and walk to school initiatives to support schools, families and children. Over 17,000 children have benefited from the road safety initiatives and more than 30 million minutes of reading have been recorded with their literacy efforts.
Mike talks about how lockdown forced them to reflect and put in place a strategy for the future and convert the charity to be digital-first - he also claims it is his mission in life to make himself redundant!

In episode 5 of our podcast series talking to inspiring charity leaders, we were lucky enough to chat to Anthony Impey MBE, a man that might have started in the commercial world, but has a passion for helping people and created his own social enterprise when he saw action was needed.
He is now the CEO of Be The Business, where they help SMEs drive change and grow. He talks about the importance of marketing to generate interest and how as a leader you should always be looking at yourself to see how you can improve first. It is this sort of dedication to improve and help others that had him awarded an MBE for services to apprentices!

Week 4 of our charity leaders podcast sees us chatting to former MD of Dallaglio Rugby Works and new lead for sport for development at UK Coaching, Sarah Mortiboys.
Sarah is a lifelong supporter of young people, dedicating her working life to helping them through her involvement in charities and even getting on the front line as a PE teacher. She trusts young people to make good decisions, deciding to empower them rather than patronise or dictate to them.
She believes in the power of telling stories and how marketing can make a difference in raising funds that help young people. Learn why collaboration is key and how marketing should NEVER be considered a dirty word in a charity.

Week 3 of our charity leaders podcast bring us to the CEO of Career Connect and someone that we’ve known for a couple of years at Thirty Three Percent, Barry Fletcher. Career Connect is a charity committed to ensuring both children and adults can achieve their potential through career, employment and training services.
Barry comes from a background in the private sector but when you hear his story it is clear his career has been heading into a more formal charity role. He has always looked to support and help those in need of help. He is another of those charity leaders that helps more than the one charity and also puts a big emphasis on supporting his team.
We learn the importance of putting the charities values ahead of selling at all costs, the importance of marketing in raising awareness & funds and most importantly, how key it is that everyone involved believes in what you are doing.

In episode two of the Charity Leaders Podcast, we’ve been lucky enough to interview Debra Allcock Tyler, the CEO of the Directory of Social Change, a charity that exists to ensure other charities in the UK can thrive, by providing training, funding sources and online resources to them. 
Debra is passionate about charity and the importance of it in modern society, as you’ll learn, she doesn’t believe we can have enough charities and it is, therefore, her duty to ensure they are all given the best chance at success. 
Aside from her busy day job, Debra is also a trustee for multiple other charities, which I think sums up her passion for the subject and how she makes it her life's mission to help as many people as possible. But it didn’t start out that way…
