Our children are in the bottom 5% of happiness in the world - meet the man who decided to do something about it. 

David Gregson is the co-founder of the UK’s leading youth wellbeing initiative, #BeeWell. He was also chair of Phoenix Equity Partners, former chair of the Lawn Tennis Association, and is currently on the board of The Barclays Women’s Super League, The Institute for Fiscal Studies and Pro Bono Economics.  

David and Mary Rose discuss: 

• How a conversation with Gus O’Donnell at the LTA led him to founding #BeeWell
• Lessons learnt from the private sector that he’s taken into his charitable work... and what's best to leave at the door
• Advice for business leaders on the key ingredients for having the greatest impact with giving
