We’re absolutely delighted that our CEO, Katie Smith, has been recognised as Cause 4’s Charity Leader of the month.
Katie gave an interview about her path to becoming our CEO, our work, and what she wants to see in the charity industry next in a fantastic blog post.
“The best thing about a small charity is the variety. This month, I have been reaching out directly to our self-advocates (readers who have a learning disability), engaging them with a fundraising fashion show; we’ve exceeded our annual target (two-months early) for our first national project setting up community-based Book Clubs (Book Club In A Box); and we’re preparing for a big launch into schools (Open Book) following a new study that shows our word-free picture stories improve the emotional wellbeing of 92% of pupils!”
