#145 Lady Edwina Grosvenor is a prison philanthropist

Dan Snow

In something of a first for Better Angels, Sarah talks to husband &amp; wife advocates for change - Dan Snow, the popular TV presenter and historian, and Edwina Grosvenor, philanthropist and prison activist. They discuss their passion for speaking up for under-privileged people and how understanding the past informs their activism and awareness.  Edwina’s charity strives for positive change in the justice system, while she is also a founding investor and Ambassador of the Clink Restaurant chain, which trains prisoners for work in the catering industry. She talks about how a visit to a prison drug rehabilitation unit at the age of 12 inspired a career supporting prison reform.  Her work has taken her all over the UK and around the world, visiting different models of criminal justice and witnessing first hand examples of best – and worst - prison practice.  Dan Snow discusses the need to appreciate the complexity of people’s pasts and personal stories when assessing how to pursue social justice and reform. Known as the History Guy, Dan is one of the most familiar faces on television in the UK. He now hosts his own digital history channel and podcast, History Hit, a seemingly endless source of programming about fascinating aspects of history. He began presenting for the BBC soon after leaving university, and went on to front countless series and programmes on key moments in British and global history.

Social reform special: Edwina Grosvenor and Dan Snow

Have you ever pre-judged a person before even meeting them? Was your perception inaccurate? My guest on this podcast often finds herself on the wrong end of misconceptions. An aristocrat, born into tremendous wealth and privilege, Lady Edwina Grosvenor could have chosen to spend her life in exotic locations living the high-life. Instead, she spends the majority of her time inside prisons, on purpose.Since the age of twelve Edwina has been passionate about helping society’s unseen people. Describing herself as a ‘prison philanthropist’ she devotes her time to changing the fortunes of some of the most deprived people in society. Her charity One Small Thing strives for cultural change within the criminal justice system. It works to shift the question away from ‘what’s wrong with them?’ towards ‘what happened to them?’ She’s also a founder of The Clink, a chain of quality restaurants in prisons that give inmates the chance to learn valuable work and life skills.In this episode Edwina shares her life story from being introduced to heroin addicts as a child and the profound impact that moment had on her to her strong sense of injustice and her passion for prison reform. Edwina speaks of those who many of us assume are beyond help, and certainly opened my eyes to how we can make positive change for those who need it most.Key Takeaways: 	Finding your passion 	The importance of challenging your own belief systems 	Why progress means changing the way it's always been done 	Building a legacy 	The dangers of labeling people and making assumptionsHost: Lawrence Jones MBEGuest: Lady Edwina GrosvenorListening time: 64 minsListen now on iTunes – click here [1] to subscribeAndroid users – Mind Your Own Business is currently on Stitcher [2] and Soundcloud [3]Follow my blog and daily inspiration on Twitter  [4][1] https://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/mind-your-own-business/id1259294180?mt=2[2] https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/lawrence-jones/lozcast[3] https://soundcloud.com/lawrencejonesmbe[4] https://twitter.com/Lawrence_Jones
