About this listen
Gerry Morrison and Harriet Wheeldon, specialist legal advisors in the charities sector speak to Lisa Dawson, CEO of Run With It about how to create a new charity and grow it into a significant service provider.
Lisa is an innovative charity leader – just like Andy Barber OBE who we spoke to in episode one. Lisa took her exciting approach to learning and developed an engaging programme to deliver education in fascinating settings.
Imagine learning maths in the real-life context of a football stadium or an airport! Also finding out about how the stadium and airport operates, not only the pilots and the plane, but the behind the scenes including the catering, the retail, and the operational controls. All of which opens young people’s eyes to different careers options.
A bus has also been ‘wrapped’ with Run With It’s branding to help raise awareness of the charity and its profile. All fantastic fun, but serious about learning and increasing young people’s life chances.
Lisa’s journey from creating a new charity to growing it is inspirational, and her energy and enthusiasm are infectious. It was a privilege to spend time with Lisa on our podcast.
