There’s lots to talk about this week, including a new charity social network that aims to connect charities with volunteers and the fact Carole Cadwalladr has launched a crowd funder to fight back against the enemy of everything and everyone that is decent...Arron Banks.

We have a wonderful guest to mull all this over with, Gemma McCall, Co-Founder of Culture Shift. (https://culture-shift.co.uk/)
