About this listen
This week, I sat down with Peter Charalambides, CEO of The Upper Room and former Property CEO, for a powerful conversation on how to run a charity with a business mindest.
Some of my favourite moments from our chat include:
✅ What Peter learned from starting-up a business and how that shapes his charity leadership today.
✅ Why charities must diversify income streams and the impact of local community.
✅ Financial lessons from the business world on cash flow, benchmarking salaries, and tech that Peter took to the third sector.
✅ How Peter uses mindfulness (and a beard net) to help out with The Upper Room’s meal service.
✅ And his call to action for younger donors, and those who can help reach them.
If you're leading a purpose-driven business or want to hear what financial leadership looks like in the charity sector, this one’s for you.
Big thanks to Peter for being generous with his story, and for the Doctor Who name drop too 👀
