Dame Helen Stephenson, former CEO Charity Commission, Director of Early Years at DfE & Cabinet Office Director

This episode's guest on The Impact Equation is a powerhouse: Dame Dr Helen Stephenson. As the former Chief Executive of the Charity Commission, Helen oversaw 169,000+ charities. She's held top roles across government; from shaping early years policy to championing civil society and innovation at the highest levels.

She’s also brought her magic to the National Lottery Community Fund, the Royal Academy of Dance, and somehow found time to earn a PhD in Philosophy too.

Helen was awarded a CBE in 2014 and made a Dame in the 2024 Birthday Honours for a career dedicated to purpose, public service, and doing things that matter.

Thoughtful, bold, and full of wisdom. Listen in as we dive into leadership, legacy, and what’s next for civil society.
