On Tuesday 8 November, students and parents from Year 9 and up spent a fascinating hour hearing from guests leading successful careers within charitable organisations and the wellbeing and personal development sector.

Our online panel comprised Woldingham parent Tanja Gullestrup, HR Director of award-winning clean tech company Pacific Green Technologies and founder of The Giving Tree Foundation; Emma Daly (Class of 1983), Head of the Collaboratory at Human Rights Watch;  Chinelo Agom-Eze (Class of 2008), an experienced legal practitioner working in non-profit programming across England and Nigeria; Issie Cobb (Class of 2010) who works for Action Against Hunger in the occupied Palestinian territory; Amanda Riley (Class of 1989), the owner of ART of Healing; and co-founder of coaching consultancy Curious Leaders, Margaret O’Keeffe.

Our speakers discussed the emotional richness of working in a charitable setting, while others spoke about the significance of working with human rights agencies across the world. It was a privilege for us to host our speakers, who are following such impactful and rewarding career paths, and we are very grateful to them for sharing their insights and experience.
