Join us as we hear from Natalie O’Rouke from Park Lane Stables RDA (Riding for the Disabled), as she shares a master class on how to run a high impact crowdfunding campaign and how she overcame what seemed an almost insurmountable challenge and raised over £1million in just six weeks to keep her beloved stables open and make sure everyone who needs it has the opportunity to 'Hug a Horse'.

On this awe inspiring show we hear how just one ordinary person can achieve the extraordinary, from enlisting the help of local celebrities, to appearing on BBC Breakfast and even targeting supporters in Australia!

Host Philippa Forrester is also joined by Crowdfunder's co-CEO Simon Deverell as we also explore what opportunities are available to everyone on the Crowdfunding platform and discuss how Natalie was able to maximise on her success.

Escaping domestic abuse - how one charity is innovating using crowdfunding to help women in crisis

Crowdfunder and the National Benevolent Charity have launched a collaborative campaign called 'Home is where the harm is' to address this domestic abuse head-on. Working alongside Ren Yi Hooi at Lightning Reach and Gareth Evans at Cash Perks, they are utilizing crowdfunding to provide immediate financial support to victims of domestic abuse. Since the Euros, a domestic violence flashpoint, they have raised over c £20,000 through the crowd and distributed it discretely via 95 micro grants through local ATMs to women in desperate circumstances, making a tangible difference in their lives.

Ali Russell from the National Benevolent Society explains how the idea came about and how crowdfunding is helping her charity raise the funds they need.

Hari Budha's record-breaking double-amputee Everest climb, raising over £300k

On this heartwarming and astonishing episode we hear from Hari Budha, an amazing fundraiser who, in May 2023, became the world’s first double above-knee amputee to summit Mount Everest, powered by the funds he raised on Crowdfunder.

Host Philippa Forrester is blown away as Hari tells the story of how a barefoot boy from Nepal, succeeded in joining the Gurkhas, but then had his life virtually destroyed after, whilst serving in Afghanistan, he stepped on a homemade bomb.

Hari describes how he rebuilt his life and how, supported by the power of the crowd, he triumphed over almost unimaginable physical and mental challenges to summit not only Mount Everest but the seven highest peaks in the world. He is now an ambassador for disabled people across the world.

Listen in - we dare you not to be inspired by Hari!
