In the first Radical Reformers episode of 2025, I welcome Naomi Hulston, Chief Executive of Catch 22, a national charity delivering employment, education, justice, health, and social care services. Naomi shares her journey to becoming the Chief Executive of Catch 22. Her story is a powerful reminder that success often comes from doing what you love and making a positive impact on the community. Naomi describes how Catch 22, despite being a large, national organisation, remains properly connected to communities to understand the full context of a person’s life. She also discusses the evolving relationship between employers and employees and asks if we have lost some connection and accountability post covid. Naomi's practical approach and unwavering optimism are a breath of fresh air. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in public service innovation and community development. Enjoy it!
