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"

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 👇👇

'Building a world fit for our children to live is no small feat. It requires radical visions that are brave enough to be worth mourning the loss of, and the tenacity and empathy to create the relationships and take the practical steps to start creating this hopeful world. '

We're very pleased to be able to share the speech that @LaurenMegRT gave at @ChildrenEngland's farewell event #CEFarewell
If you were there, I know you'll want to digest her words again.
If you weren't there, you *definitely* should read it!
