Gerry Morrison and Harriet Wheeldon speak to Paula Litten, Chair of Trustees of The Warren in Hull, a pioneering charity providing vital services to young people in Hull and beyond. Paula talks about what motivated her to step up to the role of Chair of Trustees and how she approaches this. As Chair, Paula oversaw a large capital project to redevelop The Warren’s premises to provide a warm and welcoming place for the City’s young people and how the charity puts young people’s needs and perspectives at the heart of its strategy.

Welcome to In Perspective: Family Matters — a straight‑talking podcast to help you navigate separation and divorce with clarity and consideration.

Thinking about divorce or separation?

We bust common myths (no, it doesn’t have to be a dramatic courtroom battle, take years, or cost the earth) and share practical steps you can take right now.

We’ll also explore why January is often dubbed “Divorce Month”. After the holidays, many couples take stock and consider the future of their marriage or relationship. The new year creates a natural “reset” where people set resolutions, review budgets, and feel more willing to seek advice they may have put off before Christmas.

Tune in for calm, practical guidance—and a little reassurance—when you need it most.

Gerry Morrison and Harriet Wheeldon, specialist legal advisers in the charities sector speak to Lisa Dawson, CEO of Run With It about how to create a new charity and grow it into a significant service provider.

Lisa is an innovative charity leader – just like Andy Barber OBE who we spoke to in episode one. Lisa took her exciting approach to learning and developed an engaging programme to deliver education in fascinating settings.

Imagine learning maths in the real-life context of a football stadium or an airport! Also finding out about how the stadium and airport operates, not only the pilots and the plane, but the behind the scenes including the catering, the retail, and the operational controls. All of which opens young people’s eyes to different careers options.

A bus has also been ‘wrapped’ with Run With It’s branding to help raise awareness of the charity and its profile. All fantastic fun, but serious about learning and increasing young people’s life chances.

Lisa’s journey from creating a new charity to growing it is inspirational, and her energy and enthusiasm are infectious. It was a privilege to spend time with Lisa on our podcast.
