Philanthropy is deeply personal - but making a meaningful impact can be as fulfilling as it is daunting. With so many incredible causes and ways to support them, how do we move beyond writing a cheque to rolling up our sleeves and getting involved? And how can a £10 gift turn into a £2M donation?

In the first episode of Brace for Impact, founder and CEO of The Fore Mary-Rose Gunn hears from philanthropist and leader Sir Ken Olisa OBE about the Buzz of Doing Good. And when Sir Ken speaks, we advise you to listen.

He reflected on:

- How the hug he didn’t want lit a philanthropic fire in his belly

- Why losing all his worldly belongings, bar one shoe, turned out to be one of the best things that ever happened to his alma mater

- Blancmange… you’ll get it when you listen

Tune in now and learn how we can create a society that solves its own problems.
