Isaac Jones on Philanthropisms Podcast

In a wide-ranging and thoughtful conversation, Isaac shares how First Give supports young people to become philanthropic citizens through our structured, in-school programmes. He discusses what participation looks like for students, from researching social issues to presenting and awarding real funding to charities, and reflects on the balance between building civic awareness and developing confidence, teamwork and communication skills.

The episode also explores the wider impact of the programme on schools and communities, how young people choose the causes they care about, and what they learn about the charity sector along the way. Isaac and Rhodri consider how early experiences of giving can shape lifelong engagement and even contribute to tackling bigger societal challenges such as polarisation.
