From the outset, she showed commitment Iāve never seen before, or since, to getting it absolutely right. I could see, hear and feel how important it was to Emma-Jane to not just ensure that every single person in the room listened ā but that they also donated money. She achieved both ā it was a pin-drop moment of the event (which is not easy with hundreds of people at a dinner) and the NSPCC raised over the expected target for her speech.
