If we can shift the dial a little bit on philanthropy or social purpose or impact investment, that's billions of pounds. If we can move the dial and encourage anybody who's got more than they need to point that toward doing good – that’s huge!
We built a digital platform that allows hundreds and hundreds of businesses to come on and offer experiences to people, which now exists in five cities across the UK. It's really making a seriously positive impact putting real money into small, independent businesses on highstreets.
I'm a huge believer in business and the ability for business to have a positive impact.
I work in the most exciting sector in the country. The impact sector is the most exciting sector because we spend time making our society better.
