This week on the podcast your host Orlando Agrippa is joined by none other than Tina Swani.

Tina has developed a successful career in the charity sector, currently working as Chief Executive of Birmingham St Mary's Hospice. Before that, she was a Branch then Regional Director at the British Red Cross.

Having held her current role since 2001, Tina has used her commercial acumen to oversee a huge increase in annual income, from £2million to £8million, raising more funds for the hospice’s vital work to reach more people.

In 2015, Tina became chair of the Midlands Action Group for the National Transition Task Force, which brings organisations together to find new ways to support vulnerable young adults who have survived life-limiting conditions in childhood, and holds positions with a number of other local and national charities as her reputation in the field continues to grow.
