In this powerful episode of BrightIAM, we’re joined by two extraordinary Kidscape ambassadors - celebrity hairdresser Andrew Barton and Antarctic explorer Josh Braid for a heartfelt and inspiring conversation about courage, connection, and the climb of a lifetime.

Together, we explore their personal journeys into advocacy, their deep-rooted commitment to anti-bullying, and the shared values that led them to stand with Kidscape. From childhood reflections to professional milestones, Andrew and Josh open up about why bullying matters, what needs to change, and how we can build a future rooted in kindness, resilience, and respect.

We spotlight their upcoming challenge in January 2026: a 10-day expedition to the summit of Kilimanjaro, which will raise over £100,000 for Kidscape. This climb is more than a physical feat - it’s a symbol of unity, purpose, and hope.

We also revisit the September “Ambassadors Stand United” London event, where our ambassadors came together to champion change, raise awareness and funds for this important cause.

We will preview two exciting creative projects:

🎬 The Roof of Africa documentary, capturing the climb and its impact

🎥 Our Smiley Award film entry, co-created to celebrate Kidscape’s mission and amplify its reach.

This episode is a celebration of shared purpose, personal growth, and the power of standing up - for ourselves, for others, and for a better tomorrow.
