My guest this week is CEO of Rockinghorse Children's Charity, Donna Holland. Donna is responsible for the smooth running of Rockinghorse: ensuring that the strategy and plans meet the needs of children, young people and their families, and for ensuring that the charity can continue to support sick and disabled children across Sussex in the future. She has been in the charity sector for two decades working with a number of large and small charities and playing her part in having an impact and making a real difference.
This was the final episode of the 24 hour podcast and I could think of a better way to finish than with the CEO of the charity the event was raising money for. It was such an honour to interview Donna for the final episode. We talked about life growing up and her intrinsic desire to have a career with purpose and to really make a difference. She shared stories of her various roles within the charity sector working for large national charities including the 'Missing People' and how she was on call as the media person when Madeline McCann went missing. We delve into what life was like running a charity during a global pandemic and how she is creating a real team culture within Rockinghorse, where everyone plays their part. It was a fascinating conversation and a real insight into the mindset of someone who genuinely wants to make a difference, having an impact and helping to change peoples lives, as she says 'What makes her happy is there is a big job to be done and she has a small part to play and will play her part until the big job is done'
Everyone has a story to tell... Happy Listening 🎧
