In this episode, I’m joined by Chris Fleet, founder and CEO of The Devon Clinic—a Torbay-based charity that puts people before profit. Chris shares his incredible journey from building sites, animal rescue, business owner to charity leader, revealing what it really takes to run a successful not-for-profit organisation in today’s world.
We talk entrepreneurship, which came to Chris at a young age, community impact, and the raw realities of leading charity in a tough environment. Chris also shares valuable advice for anyone starting or running a charity, NPO, or indeed any business ,and it’s gold for any founder looking to do more than just chase profit.
Plus, we spotlight The Devon Clinic’s upcoming Three Peaks Yorkshire Challenge in July, raising vital funds to support their mental health services across Torbay and how you can be part of this challenge and support the team.
Whether you're building a business, a charity or changing lives through in some other way, this one’s for you.
