  • A special seasonal charity appeal, launched by school teacher, to provide 1,000 beds for children in need

    A special seasonal charity appeal, launched by school teacher, to provide 1,000 beds for children in need
    Dec 19 2024

    Over 900,000 children in the UK won't have a bed of their own to sleep in this Christmas. School teacher, Bex Wilton, founded Zarach in 2018 to tackle this growing problem, after she discovered a little boy in her class didn't have a bed. Fast forward 6 years and Zarach have now delivered over 10,000 beds, but they still need your help.


    They are on a mission to end child bed poverty in England. In 2024 they launched their first ever crowdfunder to delivery 1,000 beds to children before Christmas. With a week to go, they have already delivered 800 beds - help them reach 1,000 by sharing this podcast and their story.

    Host Philippa Forrester is also joined by Crowdfunder's co-CEO Simon Deverell as we also explore what opportunities are available to everyone on the Crowdfunding platform.

  • How one small community turned a £60k raise into a £280k skatepark!

    How one small community turned a £60k raise into a £280k skatepark!
    Aug 20 2024

    If you want to make change happen this is your chance to learn from those who have. On this energetic episode we talk about the impact of a skate park on a small Cornish community and how crowdfunding started a chain of events that raised over a staggering £300k and brought the whole community together. It transformed an old tired park into a state-of-the-art glorious sports facility for all... We reckon there are some potential Olympians already hard at work trying it out - alongside their 'old man's sessions'.


    Aaron and Sandy from the Millbrook Skatepark Project share the history behind the park and how they generated so much excitement and funding around their fundraising with host Philippa Forrester and Co-CEO Crowdfunder

    Simon Deverell.
