Hatrack Heroes!

Have you ever wondered about the “glamorous” lives led by beautiful cabin crew or well-navigated pilots? Well, it’s not necessarily about the shopping we might do, the beaches we sun-bake on, or the hotels and restaurants we frequent. In fact, it is often about experiencing countries from the farthest corners of the globe, and seeing first-hand the many sad and horrific situations faced by these societies. As a result, many selfless airline crew are deeply involved with a number of lesser-known charities and non-profit organisations around the world, dedicating their time and money toward helping the disadvantaged. Whether it be vulnerable children, migrant worker conditions, or perhaps animal cruelty, Hatrack Heroes! aims to raise awareness of these organisations, and give you an insight into their day to day lives. In this podcast we find out what these charities are doing, who they are, and how they are dealing with the issues faced. By listening, we hope these emotional and heartwarming stories will impact you in some way, even if it just makes you THINK!

Be Prepared

January 25, 2021 • Elle & Arthur / Lee Murphy • Season 3 • Episode 7

As parents/guardians, we have a duty to set our children on a path of growth, of learning, of realising their full potential; The potential we see in them, but more importantly, the potential they see in themselves.

We give our children opportunities to help guide them, including the choice of school, but also extra-curricular activities, whether it be sports or perhaps youth groups.

One organisation in particular, who have been going strong for over 100 years is Girl Guiding UK, an organisation whose goal is to empower girls to be their best, and to face the challenges growing up today.

In this episode we chat with Lee, ex-airline crew with Libyan Arab, and Virgin Atlantic. Lee has been involved with Girl Guiding UK since she was a Brownie through until now as a volunteer (minus her time away as crew).

Join us as we learn from Lee about the many facets of Girl Guiding UK, why it's been going strong for so long, and what kind of positive effects in can have on your daughter.

It's a great chat, one that brought back some fond memories of my time as a scout, and one that might really give you the impetus to give your daughter an amazing opportunity like this... or of course for you to become a volunteer with this fantastic organisation.
