Ep 58. James Watson-O'Neill, CEO Sense: Shifting power to disabled people
Q: What is the three-year strategy and its core priorities?
The strategy centers on co-production with disabled people, expanding employment opportunities for disabled people within Sense, updating data and technology, and ensuring the power to influence remains with disabled people, all while maintaining a collaborative, inclusive approach across partners and stakeholders.
Ep 58. James Watson-O'Neill, CEO Sense: Shifting power to disabled people
Q: Tell us about Sense, its origin, mission, and work.
Sense began as a network of families of deaf-blind children, founded by Peggy and Margaret in 1955; it has grown into a large charity combining direct support with campaigning for social change, now focusing on breaking down barriers and shifting power to disabled people with complex needs.
Ep 54. Sarah Elliott, CEO Shelter: Fighting for home
Q: What have been your proudest career moments and what do you want people to take away from this conversation?
I'm proud of leadership breakthroughs like the Civil Society Covenant launch and the Renters' Rights Act, and I want listeners to focus on root causes, long-term strategic funding, and coalitions that drive lasting change rather than quick fixes.
Ep 54. Sarah Elliott, CEO Shelter: Fighting for home
Q: Tell us about your work at Shelter and give us context on homelessness in the UK.
Shelter's mission is to end homelessness by campaigning for housing justice and ensuring that social homes are built to provide secure, affordable housing; the organisation advocates for policy changes and collaborates with local services to support people in crisis.
Bonus: Anthropy26 with Rosie Jones, Founder, The Rosie Jones Foundation and Kim Samuel, Founder, The Belonging Forum - Who Gets to Belong?
Q: Kim, what distinguishes inclusion from belonging in practice, and how does your Belonging Forum framework translate into leadership actions?
Kim explains that inclusion is about seats at the table, but belonging requires active engagement, safety, and a sense of purpose. The Belonging Forum frames belonging around four P's—people, place, perspective, and purpose—driving concrete design and policy changes within organizations.
