Raising Changemakers podcast with Carrie Grant

Hear from children who are making big changes in their global communities

Our brand new Raising Changemakers podcast puts a spotlight on the issues affecting many children and families in the most vulnerable places around the world - including child labour, child marriage and FGM.

The 8-part series, hosted by broadcaster and activist Carrie Grant MBE, launches with two episodes from 06 March.

In each episode, Carrie speaks with children from Sierra Leone, Bangladesh and the UK who share how they are making changes to better their future. 

Carrie also speaks to wider guests who support raising young people's voices. This includes one of the UK’s youngest members of Parliament, Mhairi Black MP, Kids Against Plastic founder Amy Meek, and climate change activist and former Love Island contestant, Brett Staniland, who discovered the links between child labour and fast fashion on a recent visit to Ghana.

Carrie Grant and World Vision

Broadcaster and activist Carrie Grant MBE has been an ambassador for World Vision for over 10 years, sponsoring children and hosting Girls Night Out, a travelling concert where she visited churches around the country to share the impact of Child Sponsorship.

She has joined us on visits to India and Sierra Leone, sharing her special relationship with Sierra Leone. She explains that her father first visited the country in 1992 and become a missionary, relocating to the capital Freetown. He opened 12 Bible colleges across the country, which were still running when he died of malaria in 1996.

“Sierra Leone holds a special place in my heart. It’s not only a beautiful country, but it feels like a second home to me, as it welcomed my father in the early nineties and welcomed me back as I spoke with the wonderful young people campaigning for change."

Now she's hearing from children who are making big changes in their global communities in the Raising Changemakers Podcast. Carrie will also share tips on how young people in the UK can campaign for change too.
