Alive and Kicking - Expert Impact

Glenn Cummings,

Alive and Kicking

Met with Ben Elliot

Alive and Kicking runs not-for-profit social enterprises in Africa.

Through the manufacture of sports balls in Kenya, Zambia and Ghana, Alive and Kicking achieves its social objectives: generating ethical employment for adults, raising awareness about preventable disease such as HIV and malaria among young people and providing robust and affordable balls for disadvantaged children.

Ben was great. He was insightful, energetic and genuinely interested in Alive and Kicking. He provided good suggestions about how to drive the organisation forward. I really enjoyed the conversation, almost as much as his advice.

Glenn Cummings, CEO of Alive and Kicking
