Claudia Cahalane

Biography

As a former editor for The Guardian Newspaper networks (social enterprise, charities and coops) my media work is focused on the conversation around positive social change.

I currently work part time as Social Investment Editor at Alliance, the only philanthropy magazine with a global focus.

My special interests are LGBTQIA+ communities, mental health and mental illness and, healthier communities.

I am also a practising qigong and meditation teacher, working with large organisations such as Kew Gardens and the UK's leading school of the decade - Brighton College as a meditation and mindful movement coach.

I'm interested in hearing about the detail of how social investment is happening around the globe, blended finance deals, pure social investment as well as impact investment and interesting ways of financing positive social change with an investment element (think Michael Sheen's recent work around debt management!).
