I’m delighted to close season two of the podcast with a conversation with Fay Martin from Places for People. This is a critical listen for anyone struggling with a sense of hopelessness as we continue into a season of upheaval. As Fay says, “doing what you can with what you have is a great antidote for feeling powerless and vulnerable”. Join us as we talk about the importance of using community resources to address community issues as an alternative to waiting for somebody else to fix things
