Previously on The Family Histories Podcast....Whilst trying to send the previous episode's guest Kelly Cornwell back in time, Andrew makes a mistake and suddenly finds himself in an alternate dimension where things are the same but also a little bit different. In this reality, the host of The Family Histories Podcast is author and historian Dr. Wanda Wyporska who has been waiting for her guest - Andrew!  In this Series Five bonus episode, Wanda hears how family historian Andrew Martin got hooked on researching his family tree, his love of family documents, his thoughts on what's next for the genealogy industry, and his work to catalogue and digitise the collection of the town archive of The Littleport Society.The Life Story - John Goltrip Andrew has chosen to tell the life story of his maternal 5x Great Grandfather John Goltrip who was born in 1771/1772 in Littleport, Cambridgeshire.By the time John and his wife Elizabeth are married and having children, the Napoleonic Wars are in full swing, then The Corn Law begins which raises inflation and causes the poorest to get even poorer with food prices rocketing, and then an Indonesian volcano erupts. Andrew explains how this combination of events culminates in his ancestor taking action as part of the Littleport Riots of 1816, and how John risked changing things forever. The Brick Wall - Mary Clarke It's a sense of revenge that makes Andrew so keen to solve this long-running brick wall. In 1841, his paternal 4x Great Grandmother Mary Clarke, by then Mary Bailey, was serving a 6 month prison sentence with hard labour in a gaol in Ipswich, Suffolk, England for the neglect and abuse of her step-children.Moving ahead a few years, and the family briefly reunites in Botesdale, Suffolk, before William dies and widowed Mary returns to the workhouse in Eye, Suffolk in 1881. This is the last trace of Mary, who by this time is about 70yrs old.  Having checked many burial, marriage, and death certificates, Andrew has not been able to finally kill off his nasty-piece-of-work.  What happened to Mary after the 1881 census?When did she die? If you think that you can help Andrew with a clue or a research idea, then you can contact him on Twitter at @FamilyTreeUK, or via his website. Alternatively you can head over to our website and we'll send your message on to him.In the meantime, Andrew is very enthusiastic towards Wanda's offer of help, which makes her suspicious of him...- - -Episode CreditsSeries Five, Episode Eight (Bonus)Dr. Wanda Wyporska - HostAndrew Martin - Guest and ProducerKelly Cornwell - GuestPhoebe Batteson-Brown - Jane AustenThank you for listening!You can sign up to our email newsletter for the latest and behind the scenes news.

Today marks 25 years since the Good Friday Agreement was signed - bringing peace to Northern Ireland after 30 years of conflict. To mark this Jess Creighton is joined by two women working to continue that peace. Aoife Smith is the programme manager for Community Dialogue, an organisation which aims to build trust amongst people who hold opposing political, social and religious views and Hilary Copeland who is the Director of Fighting Words NI, an arts and education charity for children and young people. Tanya Sarne was the woman behind the fashion brand Ghost. Launched in 1984, it became one of the biggest independent fashion brands in the 90s, famous for its outrageous parties and incredibly wearable but beautiful clothes. An only child to refugee parents, Tanya fell into fashion as an unemployed single mother of two, desperately trying to make a living. She's now written about her extraordinary life in a memoir, Free Spirit. The civil rights group Black Equity Organisation is launching legal action following the Home Secretary's decision to drop three recommendations from the independent Windrush Inquiry. The recommendations in question are the establishment of a Migrants' Commissioner, an increase in the powers of the Independent Chief Inspector of Borders and Immigration and the running of reconciliation events. We discuss the reasons behind the judicial review with the CEO of the Black Equity Organisation, Dr Wanda Wyporska. Angie Thomas is the global bestselling author of the novel The Hate U Give which was published in 2017, it became a best-seller and a film. Now, she has turned her hand to writing for younger readers with her new book Nic Blake And The Remarkables. Angie joins Jess Creighton to discuss.

It's almost Christmas and we thought we'd spoil you with an amazing panel of experts well versed in two big issues that we're hearing a lot about from leaders right now. One, how can leaders deal with the pitfalls that come with an increasingly tough climate on social media? Two, how can they do so whilst looking after themselves? We were thrilled to speak to our four wonderful guests: two former winners of the Social CEOs awards, Dr Wanda Wyporska, CEO of the Society of Genealogists and Ruth Ibegbuna, Founder of RECLAIM, the Roots Programme and Rekindle, along with two Social CEOs stalwarts: our Chair of Judges Simon Blake, CEO of Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) England and co-founder Matt Collins, Managing Director of Platypus Digital. All of them have a wealth of experience and advice to share on how you can be bold and authentic online in the age of cancel culture, which leaders they rate at using social media for social change successfully and where leaders can go for support if they're having a tough time. We've gone out with a bang for our Season 4 Finale and we will be back in spring 2022. Thanks so much to all our listeners and see you then!   Notes and links - Email us with your questions and ideas for future episodes startsatthetop@gmail.com And please leave us a review if you enjoy what you hear!

For this week's episode of the WHF Equality Series, we will be looking at social and economic inequality with Dr Wanda Wyporska, Executive Director at Equality Trust. We discuss equal pay legislation in the UK, the UK's gender pay gap and the work of Equality Trust focusing on the improvement quality of life in the UK by reducing economic and social inequalities.

A recent major survey found that while remote working has improved, pressures around appearance and health for women within the workplace, issues of fair representation and equal pay remain prevalent.  We talk to Kate Everett, Managing Partner of The Write Impression about her own experiences and Julie Temple, Partner and Head of BLHR and Employment Team at Birkett Long discusses the legislation and what it means. Dr Wanda Wyporska, Chief Executive of The Equality Trust also explains the work the charity is doing to improve equality within the workplace  Recorded June 2021 Guest speakers: Kate Everett, Managing Partner of The Write Impression https://twi.agency/ Julie Temple, Partner at Birkett Long https://www.birkettlong.co.uk/ Dr Wanda Wyporska, Chief Executive of The Equality Trust https://www.equalitytrust.org.uk/

The COVID-19 pandemic has, of course, had an extraordinary effect on all our lives. But for women, according to a new report, it's had a particularly devastating impact. The World Economic Forum's (WEF) annual Global Gender Gap Report shows the coronavirus has pushed back gender parity by an entire generation. In this episode of the Agenda podcast, Stephen Cole will look at when, if ever, we might finally reach true gender equality.First on the podcast Cole talks to one of the people behind the WEF report, Till Leopold, who explains precisely how the report came to this rather shocking conclusion – and what can be done to address it [00:39]. According to the paper, the economic gender gap won't be closed for at least another 267 years. So why is it that in an apparently advanced society, women are still paid less than men for doing the same jobs?To find out more Cole talks to Wanda Wyporska of The Equality Trust and Rachel Verdin, a former trade union representative and now academic at the University of Sussex Business school. They discuss some of the issues surrounding the gender pay gap and how it's been affected by COVID-19 [09:17]. Finally, Kate Maclean from the Centre for International Development at Northumbria University explains why female political leaders – such as New Zealand's Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern – have come to the fore in this time of crisis [18:10].

It was recently announced that Chuck Feeney, the Irish American former airport duty free shopping entrepreneur who was worth $8bn, had, at the age of 89, succeeded in his goal of giving away all of his money to initiatives working to make the world a better place. Every cent. He suggested that to give away a huge fortune was far more fun than holding onto it. He once wrote “to those wondering about giving while living… try it, you'll like it”.   In today's podcast we are exploring how it would be if Feeney's thinking were to be embraced by those holding the vast reserves of money that the world needs to address its complex problems right now. What if they shifted and recognised the need to let go of what they're holding onto? And how would it feel to do so?   Dr Wanda Wyporska is Executive Director at The Equality Trust, the national charity that campaigns to reduce social and economic inequality. She is a Visiting Research Fellow at the University of York, a trustee of the Association of Chief Executives of Voluntary Organisations, Redthread Youth, and Equally Ours, as well as Governor of a primary school.   Chuck Collins is the Director for the Program on Inequality and the Common Good at the Institute for Policy Studies where he co-edits Inequality.org. He is author of the seminal book, Born on Third Base: A One Percenter Makes the Case for Tackling Inequality, Bringing Wealth Home, and Committing to the Common Good and co-author of Wealth and Our Commonwealth, a case for taxing inherited fortunes. His new book, The Wealth Hoarders: How Billionaires Pay Millions to Hide Trillions, is about the wealth defence industry and will be published in the UK in February 2021 and US in March 2021 by Polity Press.   Please consider supporting the podcast by visiting www.patreon.com/fromwhatiftowhatnext and becoming a patron.

We meet Dr Wanda Wyporska, Executive Director at The Equality Trust How have you changed up your leadership style during the pandemic? When Dr Wanda Wyporska, Executive Director at The Equality Trust agreed to come on the podcast we were keen to find out about the journey she's been on over the last year, and what she's learned from it. We chat to Wanda about how leaders can bring their whole self to work but hold onto a work-life balance, why the sector needs to make diversity a priority and how charities can take advantage of recruiting a greater geographical range of talent when working remotely. We also talk about social media as Wanda is currently the top CEO in the Social CEOs awards. Wanda tells us why leaders need to listen to opinions outside their social media echo chamber, and how a sarcastic tweet led to her charity winning funding. Finally, she shares how she dealt with trolling after appearing on Question Time. Zoe and Paul also discuss why the Super League plans feel like a failed digital transformation.
