Ghamdan Al-Areeky

Founder & Charity Mentor

After 14 years working in the charity sector, Ghamdan saw brilliant organisations with passionate teams making a positive impact in their communities. But he also watched too many struggle with the same problems: broken systems, endless admin, fundraising stress, and constant firefighting instead of building something bigger.

Ghamdan started Evolve Catalyst to help charities move past everyday struggles and step confidently into sustainable growth. Through the show, he shares practical insights and strategies that help charity leaders build foundations that actually work.
