- Hi Caroline - I'd recommend Nicky Goulder, the founder of Create (search: Create arts charity) She's an amazing leader, and has built a genuinely impactful organisation that uses the power of the arts to transform the lives of marginalised and vulnerable people, of all ages.
- Thanks a million to everyone who has replied, and do keep sending in your ideas. Some great names and organisastions. Sign up to the Social Founder Network newsletter if you have a minute, at www.socialfounder.org And if anyone is interested in volunteering to help write up profiles of social founders for the site let me know! I'm doing this in my spare time!
- Mara Clarke, founder of Abortion Support Network, is very badass. Also Tiia Sammallahti from WhatCharity, which is a tech platform that helps to connect charities / social enterprises with corporate CSR activities.
- Richard's list is ace. I would also add Jack Graham (founder of Year Here), Ivo Gormley (founder of GoodGym), Katee Hui (Hackney Laces), Jenny Costa (Rubies in the rubble).
- A non-finite list: Ali Hanan @ Creative Equals, Heather Macrae @ The Ideas Foundation, Ete Davies @ Stripes, Mark Runacus @ Pride AM, Adrian Walcott & Amanda Fone @ BAME2020, Diana Tickell @ NABS, Isobel Farchy @ Creative Mentor Network, Jo Wallace @ Good Girls Eat Dinner, Emily de Groot @ Dear Adland, Jo Bostock @ The Women's Sports Trust, Ade Onilude @ Women in Marketing, Daniele Fiandaca @ Token Man, Marvyn Harrison @ Dope Black Dads. All legends in my book. Good luck. A great idea!
- Thanks Annie and Robyn, great ideas and contacts, much appreciated,Caroline
