One Collective's mission is simple and radical: no one should be invisible, and everyone should have access to what they need — physically, emotionally, socially and spiritually.Lola brings something rare to this conversation: not just expertise, but lived experience. Having grown up in Bradford in deep poverty — moving house 19 times before the age of 18, navigating abuse, addiction in the home and food insecurity — she knows from the inside what it feels like to be on the receiving end of help that heals, and help that humiliates.This is a rich, generous and deeply thought-provoking conversation about what it really means to give well.🎙️ Guest Links:🔗 LinkedIn: Lola Chapman📸 Instagram: @lola_in_oxford🌐 Oxford Initiatives: oxfordinitiatives.org🌐 One Collective (global): onecollective.org🌐 The Jungle, Cowley: jungle.org.uk📌 Connect with Lindsey Frances:🔗 LinkedIn📸 Instagram▶️ YouTube🌐 Website🌐 Rich Simple Human
