These podcasts are a must listen and so insightful. Thank you @Childrenengland @Kathy_CEO_CE for making them and sharing all of your learning and reflections in such challenging circumstances - genuine leadership, in action.

"At a recent closure event for Children England (a small 80-year-old charity), its chief executive, Kathy Evans, described them as the mechanism whereby people’s ideas about how to improve the world are turned into action" 🙏@SusannaRustin theguardian.com/commentisfre…

Terrible that @ChildrenEngland led by one of our brilliant founding members @Kathy_CEO_CE had to close, but wonderful that it is capturing its legacy through these podcasts. Do listen if you can.
If you thought you'd miss @ChildrenEngland when we announced our closure, you might appreciate hearing our voices and learning now we're gone Today we've released five podcasts on different topics, intended to share our thoughts, memories & learning with charity colleagues 👇👇

Huge loss w Children England closing, but they’ve left an invaluable gift of learning opps through a short podcast series. Episode 1 on Markets & Commissioning for charities and their services. Fascinating discussion & highly relatable ⬇️ – at York, England
