Welcome to a brand-new podcast full of amazing stories that will, I promise, inspire and motivate you.
Have you ever had a great idea but didn’t have the money or resources to make it happen, well keep listening? Podcast on Purpose will lift the lid on the day-to-day miracles that are part of daily life at Crowdfunder, the UK’s leading fundraising platform. We uncover the stories behind the campaigns, where it all started, we get top tips from experienced fundraisers and of course, look at what happened next. We discover the incredible results when you combine a good idea with the power of the crowd.
Whether you’re a charity, community, business or individual fundraiser, there is no limit to the amount of people whose lives can be transformed, and the sky's the limit.
Over the past 10 years, Crowdfunder have helped raise almost half a billion pounds for good causes, touching the lives of millions of people. We will be meeting some of them to hear how their ideas got turned into reality. Some of their stories will make you laugh, some will make you cry but I defy you not to be inspired by all of them.

Join us as we chat to Alison Lapper MBE, artist, television presenter, speaker and founder & patron, of the charity Drug of Art. She was the subject of the sculpture Alison Lapper Pregnant, which was displayed on the fourth plinth in Trafalgar Square from September 2005 until late 2007 and has appeared in numerous TV programmes including Child of our Time, No Body's Perfect and more recently was the subject of the BBC documentary In My Own Words.
In 2021 Alison set up the charity Drug of Art, after losing her only son, Parys. The charity introduces art to young people to support their mental health. Alison came to Crowdfunder to help raise funds for the charities activities including workshops, masterclasses and exhibitions and to date, they have raised over £82,000. We chat to Alison about what it was like to grow up with no arms and shortened legs in a time when disability was misunderstood, how she has turned her grief into a force for good, helping young people with their mental health and be inspired to start your own crowdfunder.
Host Philippa Forrester is also joined by Crowdfunder's co-CEO Simon Deverell as we also explore the benefits of charities using the Crowdfunding platform.
