Episode Seven - Imran Sanaullah MBE, CEO of the Patchwork Foundation

  • Summary

  • We return from our summer break with our highest profile guest yet. Born and brought up in Tooting, South West London, Imran talks to us about his childhood - being raised by his mum after losing his dad very early on in his life, and how his mother's strong grounding in Islamic values instilled in him the principles by which he lives his life today. Imran talks to us about his journey through education; finding out that he was both dyslexic and dyspraxic at school and how learning about what learning styles worked best for him helped him to make better progress academically. We go on to talk about his experience studying Law at Westminster University and how in his first year he discovered a passion for politics by getting involved with the Patchwork Foundation, a voluntary organisation that works for a more representative kind of politics. Now, as the CEO of the Patchwork Foundation (which became a charity in 2016), Imran talks about the responsibility he feels for representing young and disadvantaged minority groups in political and often high profile places, ensuring that minority communities have a 'seat at the table' and a 'voice in the room. Imran also shares his advice for young people looking to pursue a role in the charity or public sectors and the things to take into account.
