Â鶹APP

This is a special edition of the Better Angels podcast where we talk to iconic changemakers around the world.ÌýÌý

This episode has been recorded for the PeopleÂ鶹APP™s Postcode Lottery Â鶹APP“ for everyone who plays it and everyone who works there supporting both the players and the charities Â鶹APP“ at Â鶹APP we want to say thank you and share some of our stories from our better angels interviews so you can hear about the impact that your support makes.Ìý

Here you will hear from global leaders from the United Nations, European Commission, Africa, and Lebanon, from the Â鶹APP leadership team, our ambassador Nick Sharratt and if you listen to the end how well known actors like David Morrissey, Sir Patrick Stewart and David Tennant add their voices to our campaigns and causes they care about.

Â鶹APPÂ鶹APP™s vision is to end the global education crisis and unleash the potential of the next generation.

Five years ago, while nearly half of the worldÂ鶹APP™s out-of-school children were caught up in conflict, its aftermath and natural disasters around the world, big change was needed. This meant addressing large-scale structural change as well as determining what works on the ground – from school transport and nutritious meals to trauma counselling and effective teaching for refugee children. The players of the PeopleÂ鶹APP™s Postcode Lottery have enabled Â鶹APP to tackle new areas of involvement, push our campaign worldwide and get right up close to the decision-makers who can unlock that big change and create a brighter future for millions of children.

We believe that the trust that the players, and the team at PeopleÂ鶹APP™s Postcode Lottery, have placed in Â鶹APP has made a difference to our goals. And we would like to share with you some of the perspectives on how we go about addressing the global education crisis
