What are the secret ingredients required to kick start a new women's giving collective? A dynamic new project that needs support, celebrity star power, a keen leadership board? Tune into this episode of the Women Who Give podcast to hear from Angela Kelly, Senior Philanthropy Manager and With Women in Mind Lead at Mind. You will learn more about what it takes to launch a dynamic and thoughtful women’s giving initiative.

With Women in Mind is an inspiring collective of supporters helping women and young people most affected by trauma. With Women in Mind 's plans are just as ambitious as the incredible people who are already part of the collective.

With Women in Mind - Mind

This is the Women Who Give podcast by me, Alex McCall. I’m on a journey to understand how, where and why women give.

I will be speaking with charity and university professionals running women’s giving programmes, philanthropists and experts on the topic here in the UK where I am based as well as abroad, where we will draw inspiration! I’m trying to get under the root of some of the commonly held misconceptions such as ‘women don’t give as much as men’ or ‘women give differently’ or ‘women just aren’t interested!’.

I hope you will join me on this exciting journey as we work to understand how we can include everyone in giving back and making a difference.

In this episode we speak with Amie Atkinson, Head of Women Supporting Women and Gemma Craggs, Head of Principle Giving at The Prince’s Trust.

Women Supporting Women was established in 2018 to help young women who face disadvantage and adversity to transform their lives. The collective is committed to raising funds so that more young women can build their confidence and receive support to get into jobs, self-employment, education or training. To date, the collective has raised over £11.8million helping to transform the lives of thousands of young women in the UK.
