  • Rethinking inclusion: RNIB and Scope on embedding lived experience in charities - with Anna Tylor & Mark Hodgkinson

    Rethinking inclusion: RNIB and Scope on embedding lived experience in charities - with Anna Tylor & Mark Hodgkinson
    2025/11/10
    In this episode, Tim and Piers are joined by two of the sector’s leading voices on disability inclusion:Anna Tylor, Chair of the Board of Trustees at RNIBMark Hodgkinson, Chief Executive of Scope, the disability equality charity.Together, they discuss the evolution of inclusion - from challenging stereotypes to transforming public attitudes - and how two of the UK’s biggest charities are leading the way in terms of embedding lived experience into all aspects of their work.In this episode, we explore:♿ Why lived experience in leadership matters and how RNIB and Scope bring disabled voices into decision-making.🧭 How boards can keep inclusion on the agenda without slipping into tick-box territory.💬 Moving from compliance to culture - what true accessibility looks like day to day.📈 The disability employment gap - why it’s still stubbornly wide and what needs to change.🤝 Allyship and collaboration - how non-disabled and disabled colleagues can drive change together.🧠 Tech and inclusion - opportunities, risks and why AI could be a game-changer for accessibility.🛠 Simple steps every charity can take to become more inclusive.Tim and Piers look at the Poppy Appeal, now more than a century old, reflecting on its huge reach and the lasting support it provides for veterans and their families. They also discuss new CAF research showing two-thirds of charity leaders believe the sector’s health is “unwell,” with rising demand, burnout and financial strain topping the list. Finally, they touch on Mind’s latest report warning of a worsening youth mental-health crisis, with more young people struggling and long waits for help.This week’s Small Charity Spotlight features Footprints Baby Loss, a small, volunteer-led charity offering peer support and training for families and health professionals after baby loss, and Contact, the long-standing charity helping families with disabled children through advice, practical support and campaigning for better rights and services.Useful linksRNIB – rnib.org.ukScope – scope.org.ukFootprints Baby LossContact (for families with disabled children) – contact.org.ukRoyal British Legion (Poppy Appeal)Charities Aid Foundation (CAF) – sector wellbeing / reports – cafonline.orgMind – youth mental health research – mind.org.ukThe Good Studio – thegoodstudio.co.ukGet involved:Listen to The Charity Show on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or your favourite platformEmail us at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠thecharityshowpod@gmail.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Send a voice message to TheCharityShow⁠⁠Find every link you need: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/thecharityshow⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠Enjoyed the episode?
