    How do you launch a charity? Alex Staniforth, Mind Over Mountains
    2024/05/13
    Join us for the premiere episode of The Charity Show, where longstanding charity comms professionals Tim Beynon and Piers Townley dive deep into the heart of charity innovation and inspiration. In this inaugural journey, we explore the audacious beginnings of new charities amidst global upheaval, with special guest Alex Staniforth, the co-founder of Mind Over Mountains. Alex shares his personal struggles with mental health and how his passion for the great outdoors inspired the creation of an organisation that blends nature's healing power with professional mental health support. Discover the ingenious PR stunts that are making waves, like the Oddballs Foundation's cheeky shadow play on Westminster Bridge, and learn how Age UK is helping new staff understand the elderly's mobility challenges with a gerontologic test suit. We also shine a spotlight on the unsung heroes of charity, from marathon runners in outlandish costumes to a 7-year-old boy's brave ascent of Mount Snowdon. Plus, we'll unpack the strategies charities are employing to navigate the challenging waters of the third sector. Whether you're a charity veteran or a newcomer eager to make a difference, The Charity Show is your biweekly dose of inspiration, insight, and involvement.
