Hopeful World

We met with Jess & Matt from The Museum of Homelessess and talked about a ton of interesting stuff. From government legislation to what makes working on social projects so rewarding and why the hard work is all worth it! Enjoy. http://museumofhomelessnes

This week we interviewed Scarlett Montanaro of Crack + Cider, an online shop where you can buy items for the homeless. We discussed how Crack and Cider came about, what it's like running a social enterprise, going global and franchising the business, getting PR, and trying to stay sane while running a business at the same time as having a normal job. https://crackandcider.com/ https://twitter.com/crackandcider

We speak to Kate and Josh of Stray Further about how an experience in Morocco completely changed their lives. As well as starting a clothing brand to raise money for animal refuges, they have decided to take a hands on approach to animal welfare.

This is episode two and we are hearing from Meg Doherty of Fat Macy’s, a culinary response to the lack of opportunities offered to young people from unstable backgrounds. Through her job in a youth hostel in north London, Meg discovered a passion and talent in the tenants that could lead them to a better life. That passion, is food. Thank you Meg for speaking to Hopeful World. If you are looking for a unique culinary event or are just interested in the brilliant work these guys do, their website again is fatmacys.org.

We spoke to comedian Cariad Lloyd. What started as part of her act became a campaign to provide a local shelter with feminine hygiene products. We discuss our own sanitary products project and discussed her own podcast about dealing with death; Griefcast.

Opportunity through creativity is at the heart of what we do at Hopeful Traders and this is also true for the subject of today’s episode, Accumul8. Marice Cumber shares how Accumul8’s work has already changed lives and will continue to change more.
