Unlock the transformative potential of AI for social good through a powerful story of innovation, collaboration, and practical impact.
In this episode, Annie Legge is joined by tech volunteers Bronwyn Kunhardt from Polecat and Dave Preedy from Microsoft to explore how a community-driven AI Living Lab is helping charities move from curiosity to confident action.
Through small, real-world experiments, they’re showing how AI can boost efficiency, strengthen community engagement, and support - not replace - human connection.
You’ll hear how a “learning by doing” approach, grounded in human-centred design, is turning AI from an overwhelming buzzword into a practical tool that saves time, reduces pressure, and amplifies mission-driven work.
If you work in the charity, community, or tech sectors and want to explore AI without big budgets or complex systems this conversation offers a grounded, accessible starting point. All you need is curiosity, collaboration, and a willingness to experiment.
