Meet Alice Pulford...
Alice is the co-founder of two charities (Tilinanu Orphanage and Love Support Unite Foundation) and the innovative fundraising company: Love Specs. Their ethos is about long-lasting sustainable change and they are all about a leg up and not a handout.
Fav quotes from this episode:
“The smallest thing can make the biggest impact to change somebody’s life.”
“You can do amazing stuff in the world and still be thinking - what am I going to do with my life!?”
“If you want to sponsor a child at Tilinanu, you can guarantee that all of the money is going to that and that there isn’t any overheads or administration costs.”
“Find a charity that you really love and whose ethos is very similar and go and either become an ambassador for them or go and intern for them.”
In this episode we talk about:
- What inspired Alice to start her first charity aged just 17, and the highs and lows of being a ‘young’ voice in the charitable sector
- How making a big difference to someone’s life can be an easy thing for us all to do
- What to consider if you want to get started with charitable work
- The current culture of secrecy and competition in the charity sector and the need for more collaboration, community and communication
Plus we talk about how you can help with Love Support Unite’s latest project of providing period pants to girls in Malawi - an opportunity to do something good today! Go HERE to fund a pair of pants for just £18.99.
