About the show

Curious, bold and challenging, this podcast from Collective Discovery explores how shifts in relationships, power & resources can make the world a better place. With insightful guests, we ask how larger systems that we are part of need to shift to address our collective challenges. In our second series we speak with changemakers working at every level—from the grassroots to global movements. These conversations are honest, inspiring and full of insight—exploring what drives changemakers, the obstacles they navigate, and what keeps them going. Our first series, informed and inspired by our work with The Listening Fund, explores how youth organisations and funders can better listen to young people.

Series 2, Ep. 12: Emma Naylor-Ngugi, Kenya Society for the Protection and Care of Animals

17 min

Dogs under desks and a baby donkey causing havoc in the office might not be the first things that come to mind when you think about animal welfare — but they’re part of everyday life at the Kenya Society for the Protection and Care of Animals (KSPCA). In this episode, Jenny Ross speaks with Emma Naylor-Ngugi about the joys, challenges and importance of protecting animals in Kenya. The KSPCA works at the intersection of animal welfare and human wellbeing, recognising just how closely the two are connected. Emma shares the realities of working in communities where people depend on animals for their livelihoods, and the challenges of providing veterinary care where resources are limited. She discusses the organisation’s work tackling animal cruelty, illegal slaughter and animal trafficking, as well as its efforts to work alongside communities to create better outcomes for both animals and people. The conversation also explores Emma’s own journey from senior leadership in international development to animal welfare, the challenges and rewards of growing a small organisation, and what sustains her through some extraordinarily difficult work. Her story offers an inspiring reflection on finding work that feels meaningful and authentic, even when the challenges are immense. A thoughtful and uplifting conversation about compassion, community and sustainability — and why caring for animals is so often inseparable from caring for people.

Series 2, Ep. 11: Farah Nazeer, Women's Aid

14 min

Three quarters of women and children seeking refuge from domestic abuse are currently turned away because there simply aren't enough places for them to go. Behind every statistic is a woman trying to find safety, a child trying to rebuild their life, support services doing everything they can with limited resources. In this episode, Jenny Ross speaks with Farah Nazeer, Chief Executive of Women's Aid, the national charity working to end domestic abuse and support a network of more than 200 life-saving organisations across England. Farah reflects on the progress made over the past fifty years of the women's movement, the challenges survivors continue to face in accessing support, and the importance of changing not only services but the systems and cultures that allow abuse to continue. Together they discuss family courts, prevention, public attitudes, policy change and why ending violence against women and girls requires all of us to play a part. This is a thoughtful, powerful and hopeful conversation about justice, leadership and creating a society where women and children can live free from abuse.

Series 2, Ep.10: Dr Catherine Hewitt, Founder of Maple Access Practice

14 min

What happens when a GP decides that the people most often excluded from healthcare deserve a service designed around their needs? In this episode, Jenny Ross speaks with Dr Catherine Hewitt, founder of Maple Access Practice in Northampton—a pioneering surgery created for people experiencing homelessness, people who use drugs, asylum seekers, street workers, and members of the Gypsy, Roma and Traveller communities. Catherine reflects on building a practice from the ground up, the importance of understanding trauma rather than judging behaviour, and what she learned from working alongside patients whose lives were shaped by exclusion, poverty and stigma. Above all, this is a conversation about compassion, dignity and seeing the person behind the label. It also carries a wider message: that the stigma attached to some of the most marginalised people in our society is neither inevitable nor acceptable, and that Catherine's approach points to a better, more humane society.

Series 2, Ep. 5: Victoria Suchak, Pavilion Youth and Community Cafe

12 min

After school, the door opens and children tumble in—dropping their bags, grabbing toast, and filling the room with chatter about their day. They let off steam, feel safe, and simply be themselves, with space to play freely. At the Pavilion Youth and Community Café in Broadstairs, these small, everyday moments help confidence grow, friendships form, and vital life skills take shape. In this episode, Jenny Ross visits founder Victoria Suchak, who has created a place many describe as feeling like home, in what was previously a dilapidated and abandoned old cricket pavilion in a public park. Victoria shares how the youth club began, what it takes to sustain it, and why spaces where young people feel known and valued matter so much. Her story is a reminder that meaningful change often happens through quiet determination and a deep understanding of what people need. For more on Collective Discovery, see our website or LinkedIn.
