Ep.32 Dave Linton on Madlug- the business that empowers foster kids

In this episode, I was grateful to meet and chat to Dave Linton, the founder of Madlug (make a difference luggage). Dave was moved by the words of a young girl who grew up in foster care, who had to move her belongings in a bin bag as she was not provided with a suitcase. He went on to learn that this was a scenario faced by many children in care. With £500 to start with, Dave set up his social enterprise with an aim to end the use of bin bags as luggage for children in care. With every sale from Madlug, a travel pack is donated to a child in care. Dave also shared stories from his career as a youth worker as well as a story about meeting Richard Branson for lunch!Dave is a truly inspirational person and it was a pleasure to chat to him.
