Heard what’s coming?
Join us for a new series of the award-winning Positive News Podcast.
In The Purpose Pioneers, we meet the leaders of some of the UK’s most inspiring organisations and uncover how they’re turning ideals into action.
Across five revealing conversations, the series explores how bold ideas are delivering real-world change – from the charity leader bringing the joy of play to thousands of excluded disabled children, to the founder making coach travel cool again.
Hosted by Positive News’ Sarah LaBrecque, the new series will be available in both audio and video formats.
The Purpose Pioneers launches on 20 January 2026, with new episodes released weekly on Tuesdays.
The series is supported by Triodos Bank, a bank for people and organisations who want to create positive impact.
