In this episode I have the absolute pleasure of chatting with the wonderful Jane Tewson the Founder and Director of Igniting Change which is a deliberately tiny charity supporting organisations and inspiring people to tackle social issues and drive positive change.

Jane is an innovator with a global reputation for inspiring individuals and organisations to work together for positive social change. She is the co-founder of Comic Relief and has founded a number of charities throughout her career. 

Jane is an extremely humble and warm person who likes to shine out rather than within which comes through in this honest and insightful conversation.

For Jane and Igniting Change it is purely all about meeting the people and feeling the issues!!
