Game Changers
By The National Lottery
If you could champion a Game Changer, someone helping transform the UK, who would YOU choose?
Aimee Fuller – two-time Olympian, author and broadcaster – presents Season 3 of The National Lottery 'Game Changers’ podcast.
This extra special series celebrates the 30th birthday of The National Lottery, as Aimee travels the UK to hear from exceptional individuals who have been transforming communities over the last three decades, with a little help from The National Lottery.
Including the music initiative providing a launchpad for artists like chart-topper Rizzle Kicks and supported by Rag ‘N’ Bone Man. There’s also Alice Dearing, the first black woman to swim for Team GB at an Olympic Games. Meanwhile, at Jodrell Bank the universe is revealed in bold new ways to the public with the help of a pioneering physicist, remarkable things also emerge from the earth thanks to the brains behind the Eden Project.
Hear too from well-known names like Sir Tony Robinson, Adele Roberts and Clare Balding, and why they are championing our Game Changers and their incredible work.
