Kara Olayinka, CEO
Kara is Tiny Changes’ CEO.
The Chief Executive is responsible for planning and directing the charity’s work and managing a team of staff, consultants and suppliers.
Kara’s background is in women’s rights and children’s rights. Before this job, she was international legal officer for Scotland’s Children and Young People’s Commissioner, a founding member of the First Minister’s Advisory Council for Women and Girls, and – as a young leader – Young Women Director for World YWCA, Chair of Scotland’s End FGM charity and CEO of The Young Women’s Movement.
Kara worked with the Hutchisons and friends to build Tiny Changes, starting in late 2019. The charity has since helped over 6,000 children and young people.
Our Board of Trustees
The Board of Trustees is responsible for the overall control and governance of our charity. They meet at least four times a year with the CEO and spend time with young advisors and team members in our work to help young minds feel better.
67% of our Board are women. Our Board is intergenerational and we’re proud to have a trustee aged under 25 as it’s still so uncommon on charity boards, when it shouldn’t be.
We have 6 Trustees – Áine Lovedale (Co-chair, National Lottery Community Fund), Ami Anderson (Co-chair, STV), John Todd (Treasurer), Dionne Hossack (Scottish Parliament), Kelly Flint (consultant), and Rasheeq Syed (NHS).

Volunteers
We’re not actively recruiting volunteers at the moment but do keep an eye on our instagram @tinychanges, for future opportunities.
Thank you so much to everyone who has volunteered for Tiny Changes to date. You’ve helped us raise lots of money, raise the charity’s profile, and help young minds feel better through grantmaking and now via youth-led community projects.
Extra Support
We’re currently working with finance and admin consultant Aleksandra Klis, embroidery and sales fulfilment business DOT DST, printers Swish Print and other partners to deliver our work.
Are you a talented person looking for an exciting new project? Get in touch with us on info@tinychanges.com to register your interest as a volunteer, consultant or agency.
If you share our passion for improving young people’s mental health and have time, money or resources available to support the cause, we’d like to hear from you. We post every job and volunteer vacancies on our social media – so keep an eye on that too.
Together, we’ll make tiny changes to Earth.
