This is ‘So, What Did You Do?’ A series of conversations to find out more about individuals and organisations who have taken the step to walk the walk, rather than just talking about it.

You don’t need to look far to see that there are various issues and problems that we face in our society, and that everyone appears to have an opinion on how, you, me and the powers that be, should address them. 

In this series, we are talking to people who have taken these conversations as a starting point and then moved them to the next level and actually got busy putting their words into action. They have taken it upon themselves to make a positive change in the world themselves, to take a stand and do things that have a direct positive impact on people, society and environment.

We find out what makes them tick, what was the catalyst for the change they are making, in the hope that we can inspire more positive changes by asking them, ‘So what did you do?’
