In the first of our exciting series of Podcasts interviewing some of the most interesting leaders in the charity sector, we talked to Simon Blake, currently the CEO of Mental Health First Aid (England), who have a vision to improve the mental health of the nation. In the last year alone they have enabled over 133,000 people to become trained in mental health, which will save lives across the country.
Simon is an amazing leader in the charity sector, having helped grow many different charities in his career and works tirelessly to ensure fairness, equality, mental health and a more inclusive society are at the forefront of the nation's minds.
In this interview, Simon explains the benefits of working closely with other charities, why having a network that expands outside of the charity sector is vital and how you need to embrace sales & marketing a charity, because it helps you make the money that lets you help a wider range of people, as he puts it, being proud of your profit!
