Jo Ensor

In this episode, hear Olly Belcher, Immediate Past President of the St Edmund Hall Association, in conversation with Jo Ensor who came up to the Hall in 1988 to read Geography.   Since then Jo has dedicated her life to the non profit sector, initially working for leading organisations such as EveryChild and AMREF where she lived amongst the communities she served, all over the world.  When Jo had her two boys she dedicated her time instead to advising philanthropists on their giving strategies and in 2019, she went on to found her own organisation Philanthropy Insight.  Jo’s deep sense of social purpose is inspiring and an example to us all!
