No Child Should Carry their Life in a Bin Bag - Dave Linton, Madlug

We've all heard stories which have horrified us.

But when Dave Linton was told how most children in care transport all their possessions - their lives - in black bin bags, he wasn't only shocked and appalled. He resolved to do something about it.

Dave, a former youth worker, launched social enterprise Madlug CIC to give dignity to children in care.

Madlug stands for Make a Difference Luggage and makes "incredible bags." For every Madlug bag bought by a member of the public a giving bag, centred around the needs of children in care, is donated.

In this inspirational episode, Dave covers:

• His lightbulb moment and why he launched Madlug
• Starting the business with just £500 and where he focused his energy first
• The most difficult challenge he faced to get the business up and running
• How Madlug grew
• Its impact so far, not only from giving over 10,000 bags to children, but further impact too
• Future plans
• Advice for other social entrepreneurs
