This episode of Fresh Perspectives explores why social impact is no longer optional for modern businesses and how responsible partnerships can strengthen performance, culture and long-term value.

Rob Brown is joined by Ben Marson, Director of Fundraising and Marketing at The King’s Trust. Together they discuss the role businesses can play in supporting young people, why social investment matters more than ever and how partnerships like Azets and The King’s Trust create value for customers, colleagues and communities alike.

The conversation looks at the work of The King’s Trust, the challenges facing young people today and how businesses can move beyond traditional philanthropy toward meaningful, long-term impact.

This episode will resonate with SME owners and leaders who believe business should be a force for good while still delivering commercial success.
