“Our job is to give young people hope, opportunity, and belief in themselves.”

In this heartfelt Deep Dive episode of the Tales to Inspire Podcast, Krish Patel sits down with Sital Raja – Arjan MBE for a moving conversation about kindness, community and what it truly means to give back.

Awarded an MBE for Services to Bolton, Sital reflects on her family’s journey arriving in the UK from Uganda, growing up and helping build one of Bolton’s most loved family businesses. But at the heart of this conversation is something much deeper than business success.

This episode explores the power of community spirit, supporting one another and creating spaces where people feel welcomed, valued and cared for.

Sital shares emotional stories from her charity work supporting homeless communities, the lessons passed down through family generations and why kindness should never be underestimated. One particularly powerful moment involving a homeless man with no shoes became a defining experience that changed her perspective forever.

This is an inspiring and deeply human conversation about compassion, service, belonging and the legacy we leave behind through the way we treat others.

If you enjoy conversations centred around community, humanity and real life inspiration, this is an episode you will not want to miss.
