Families naturally think about protecting their own — building businesses, preserving wealth and planning for future generations. Yet families elsewhere may be facing a very different reality: conflict, displacement, poverty and difficulty providing even basic necessities for their children. Through the remarkable work of Goods For Good and its founder Rosalind Bluestone MBE, this session opens a wider conversation about how successful families, family offices, philanthropists and businesses can use their resources, relationships and influence to help other families — at home and internationally.
