Our guest today is Zahra Hedges, the CEO of Winning Scotland. A charity based in Scotland that acts as a catalyst for change. Collaborating with like-minded partners, they build confidence and resilience in all of Scotland's young people. Zahra is also a Trustee of Scaro, a not-for-profit based in Edinburgh and an Associate for Samtaler.
Zahra shares with us the importance of volunteering and the confidence it brings to her team and their personal development. The difference between team building days and volunteering; is understanding what organisations need and how you can have influence beyond planting a garden or painting a room.
Zahra explains what she means by a 'winning culture' and how this impacts and helps young people in Scotland.
She also shares advice to prepare for tender responses - don't leave it to the last minute!
Build and nurture relationships with charities in your communities. Move beyond social value for the sake of tenders. It is about understanding what the charities need first. Then when you come to write a social value response, you are already doing great stuff that has a real impact for you to draw upon.
This episode is packed with ideas and sound advice to create social value with charities and local communities. We hope you enjoy it.
