Welcome to our fantastic new podcast featuring two people on a quest to find the ideas and communities making a positive change to our world. If you're in local government or the Third Sector – or if you just give a damn about community – then this is a must-listen.

Dr Kaneez Shaid MBE – former Chair of Citizens UK – and her fellow traveller Will Higham, who has been a leader in some of Britain's biggest charities, know this world intimately.

Kaneez and Will are hunting for ways to make communities happier and less angry and, en route, talk with some of the county's leading thinkers and doers about how to solve a problem like ... everything.

They look at the 'five giants' of the Beveridge Report – what do want, squalor, idleness, disease and ignorance look like in 2026, starting in Grimsby, where Kaneez did so much work.

There's no apple pie on the menu. Just a serious quest to find out what will work – for those who want to improve the world around them and be able to articulate hope for the future.
