Listen: NPC CEO Jonathan Simmons on the Brace for Impact podcast
25 April 2025
Since joining NPC, I’ve chosen not to post or comment much. It’s not ideal for marketing, but it was important for me to take the time to really understand our role and our voice.
But then the persuasive Mary Rose Gunn at The Fore , an organisation I’ve long admired, asked and the timing was right, so I said yes — and here it is.
We cover a range of subjects, ‘the unhelpful obsession with definitions’, ‘the importance of storytelling’, ‘the growing opportunity’ and ‘the role of NPC as market builders’. So have a listen, and keep checking back as we share more in the coming months.
I believe that to create real, positive change, we need more people to step up and contribute. At NPC, we will play our part supporting those trying to have a positive impact and sharing the stories of the amazing work happening across the impact sector.
