"It's a community coming together"
James and Kenneth struggle to contain their excitement around the upcoming International Fundraising Congress, mainly due to the prospect of dressing up as their hometown myths and legends. Fortunately they are joined by CEO of The Resource Alliance, Willeke Van Rijn to bring some sense (and a sense of health and safety) to proceedings.
We hear about the young eighteen year old who dreamt of seeing the world and the career which followed, working in a variety of roles and continents before taking the helm at the organisers of the IFC. There’s passion, curiosity, pressure and ambition. We talk about the expectations on the event, who to look out for and what not to miss. There’s news from backstage, how to make the most of the the experience and ensuring you scoop every spoonful of custard from the jar.

Episode 115: Delving into the world of CSR/ESG with Kerry McNally
"You don't operate as a company in a bubble."
A high-brow start to the show this week with a mention on PMQs before we dive into CSR, ESG and DB. Then it's Downing Street to Guatemala, making good decisions and learning on the job.
We're joined by Kerry McNally, Group Head of Communities at Flutter Entertainment, to talk through what Corporate Social Responsibility or Environment Social and Governance means in the corporate world. Kerry explains how she didn't take a typical career path, mobilising 10,000 people and achieving the dream of exponential impact. We discuss investing in relationships, three-pint focus groups and cringing at puns (but using them anyway).
Kenneth ends by penning a litter-based love-letter to Ron before James get's back to Parent's Evening.

Episode 114: Crime, gangs and violence to leading Criminal Justice work at Causeway. The importance of lived experience with Stu Otten.
"If you've done the crime then you do the time."
Jimbo delivers a thank you to our Patreon supporter, Jeremy through his new monochrome webcam and Kenneth dreams of a trip to Turkey. Then it's over to our guest Stu to talk about his work fighting modern slavery and the rollercoaster route which got him there. From a Liverpool council estate to a well-intentioned decision which led him into the wrong scene.
We talk about intervention, entrepreneurship in the underworld, warehouse robberies and a SIM card worth £250,000. Then we cover societal change, root causes and being at the end of a phone when the time comes.

Episode 113: Fundraising Megatrends with Chris Innes
"Organising a Careers Fair to find a job for myself."
Tired from the hotel gym, Kenneth lets our guest do the heavy lifting as we discuss the megatrends which have impacted the fundraising environment. Confirmed BDIF, Chris Innes, joins us to talk through the findings from the IFL Forum which immediately preceded the IFC. Expect to tick the permacrisis, AI and the experience economy off your DMG bingo card, as well as confidently dropping a discussion point about truth and opinion into polite conversation later.
We also talk through the big issues, including agreeing on the market leaders in flat pasta; the benefits of marrying your modern languages tutor; and how we're in the nice bit of the Artificial Inteligence movie.

Episode 112: A better approach to resilience with Helena Sharpstone
"Targets, nasty people and shoulder pads"
Kenneth has spent all his pocket money in the IFC tuck shop before we meet Helena Sharpstone (the only one on the internet) for a delightful conversation through her career, including her start in sales, an extended honeymoon period in non-profits and why she's investing her own pocket money in chilli plants.
Before she reveals how taking an interview for a bet nearly horribly backfired, she talks about healing in the sector, how she finds there's more creativity when there's less resource, people adapting from difficult experiences and the similarities between sales and fundraising.
Before closing we get to a far better approach to resilience, valuing your staff, why not everyone makes a good manager and squeeze in James' Annual Review.

Episode 111: Revolutionary times with Erica Chenoweth
"We're in revolutionary times"
Kenneth and James flashed their access all areas passes to sneak backstage at IFC. They managed to grab a seat in the Press Room for a conversation between two big-hitters, Bill Toliver and Erica Chenoweth before the latter takes to the big stage for their plenary speech.
They dive straight in talking people power; revolution; divide and rule; and power relations between our opponents. Erica describes the power of hope and the critical mass for societal change as well as describing their work writing a Phd in violent conflict. There’s the power and dangers of digital in movements and surveillance, the ice bucket challenge and the most beautiful mullets of 1983 before Kenneth made a pitch for ‘smartest person in the room’ by braving a question at the end (a valiant but doomed effort).
