Episode notes
Welcome to Episode 4 of The Charity Show! Hosts Tim Beynon and Piers Townley return with another insightful episode packed with the latest news, inspiring stories, and intriguing discussions from the charity sector.
This week, we delve into the fascinating world of artificial intelligence in the third sector. Our special guest, Zoe Amar, a third sector digital champion, shares her insights on how AI is revolutionising charity work. From enhancing fundraising efforts to generating creative content, Zoe explains the immense potential and the ethical considerations of AI. She also highlights real-world examples, including a Scottish hospice using AI to preserve patient memories and a Canadian non-profit leveraging AI for innovative fundraising campaigns.
In addition to our deep dive into AI, we celebrate the unsung heroes of the charity world. Tim honours three remarkable fathers, Andy Airey, Mike Palmer, and Tim Owen, who have raised over £1.4 million for Papyrus, a young suicide prevention charity, in memory of their daughters. Piers highlights a massive paddle-out event organised by Healing Waves Charity and RNLI Jersey, aiming to break the world record and raise funds for two incredible causes.
Join us for these heartwarming stories and discover how AI could shape the future of the charity sector. Plus, find out how you can get involved and nominate your charity superstars!
