Episode 84: A tapestry of creativity with engagement expert Gillian Jackson

Do More Good podcast

"How I can open doors which weren't open to me."
We’re chatting to Gillian about her impressive LinkedIn profile this week. From Livity, The Ministry of Sound and work with Adidas and Red Bull, to Director of Engagement at House of St. Barnabus, Commissioner for Diversity with the Mayor of London and a consultant for Culture 24, via music festivals from Manchester to Malawi.
We start by talking about the boys’ clubbing experiences and keeping the beers off screen during a rare lunchtime recording. Then we’re straight in to promoting club nights, creating opportunities for young people and passing on culture to the next generation. We discuss finding opportunity after university, understanding what opportunity looks like and still holding a torch for the Spice Girls. There’s time for the challenges of homelessness, stealing the members from Soho House and the power of a membership to make a difference before Carl Cox takes to the stage at the Fenstanton Social Club.
