Bonus: Anthropy26 with Rosie Jones, Founder, The Rosie Jones Foundation and Kim Samuel, Founder, The Belonging Forum - Who Gets to Belong?

About this episode

A conversation on belonging and inclusion featuring Rosie Jones and Kim Samuel, recorded at Anthropy26.

Anthropy UK is described as the UK's largest gathering of future makers - inspiring a better Britain. Held annually at the Eden Project in Cornwall, Anthropy brings together leaders from civil society, business, academia, and government, to re-imagine how the country can thrive. This year (2026), I was invited to participate in Anthropy, and it was a real privilege to moderate a session with Rosie Jones, Founder of The Rosie Jones Foundation, and Kim Samuel, Founder of the Belonging Forum. Recorded at Anthropy26, this powerful conversation examines what it means to truly belong in today's society, disrupts assumptions around disability, and challenges all of us as leaders to reflect on how our organisations can actively enable inclusion and belonging. Recorded March 2026. Correction Note: 8% of disabled people in the UK are wheelchair users, not 3% as stated in podcast
