Podcast on Purpose
Welcome to a brand-new podcast full of amazing stories that will, I promise, inspire and motivate you.
Have you ever had a great idea but didn’t have the money or resources to make it happen, well keep listening? Podcast on Purpose will lift the lid on the day-to-day miracles that are part of daily life at Crowdfunder, the UK’s leading fundraising platform. We uncover the stories behind the campaigns, where it all started, we get top tips from experienced fundraisers and of course, look at what happened next. We discover the incredible results when you combine a good idea with the power of the crowd.
Whether you’re a charity, community, business or individual fundraiser, there is no limit to the amount of people whose lives can be transformed, and the sky's the limit.
Over the past 10 years, Crowdfunder have helped raise almost half a billion pounds for good causes, touching the lives of millions of people. We will be meeting some of them to hear how their ideas got turned into reality. Some of their stories will make you laugh, some will make you cry but I defy you not to be inspired by all of them.
Please do subscribe and share with anyone you know who has a good idea. We’re so excited to share our stories with you and you never know, it could even change the world.
