Susan Calman (2018 Event)
The popular broadcaster, talented comedian and, as she recently demonstrated on Strictly, very nifty ballroom dancer is on a mission. With a culture of hatred and vitriol brewing in public and on social media, how can we stimulate more kindness in everyone’s daily lives? Susan Calman’s answer is Sunny Side Up: A Story of Kindness and Joy; her personal campaign to celebrate a spirit of community. Chaired by Lee Randall.
