This podcast aims to strengthen the voices of volunteers and organisations within Medway's voluntary and community sector, shining a spotlight on the incredible work being done to support our communities.

Whether it’s lending an hour a week to MVA’s Befriending Together Program, helping those facing isolation, or getting involved in other local initiatives, your contribution can make a real difference.

Now is the time to get involved! Volunteering offers more than just the chance to help others—it provides personal growth, a sense of fulfilment, and the opportunity to connect with like-minded individuals.

So, grab a cuppa, sit back and listen to some inspirational stories of volunteers, community organisations, and the transformative power of giving back.
