Navigating Difficult Decisions with Sonya Sceats
Episode Summary: In this deeply reflective episode, Sonya Sceats, CEO, Freedom from Torture, opens up about her experience on one of the most difficult days of her career. She shares the tough decision-making process that led to the closure of two of their treatment centers, the financial pressures that charities are facing in the UK, and the emotional toll of supporting survivors of torture. Sonya also discusses the unique role of collaboration in the third sector and with the private sector, and how it can help charities overcome funding crises. Listen in to gain insight into the intersection of trauma care, charity work, and navigating impossible decisions during challenging times.
"No matter how hard it is to engage with people who rely on your organisation for services, and no matter how impossible it may feel to be able to deliver on their chief concern, there are all kinds of other ways in which their views can inform future thinking."
