The Rank Foundation

🎙️Introducing The Ripple Effect  🗯️ A brand new podcast brought to you by the Rank Foundation, celebrating Rank’s thriving Network of leaders who improve life in the communities they cherish. When it comes to the social sector it seems there’s no clear cut path to leadership. But there are shared values -  like inclusivity and collaboration -  that the best of leaders demonstrate. In this pilot podcast series, our Deputy Chief Executive Caroline Broadhurst will be speaking to leaders from across the UK, learning what led them to the social sector, and what shaped them into the inspiring leaders they are today. Listen to the trailer now⚡ The first episode is coming soon so be sure to follow The Ripple Effect on your preferred podcast channel for notifications of when new episodes land.
