This episode of the Green Heart of York podcast is about volunteering. We will help people better understand how volunteering can benefit individuals, organizations, and communities. Hopefully, it will encourage you to volunteer, knowing that barriers can be addressed and broken down and that there is something out there for everyone, even if that isn't necessarily at St Nick's. We'll chat all about the positives of volunteering, why people volunteer in the first place, and try to bust some myths about volunteering too.

Featured participants:

Holly Hennell, Manager York Cares
Maria Gill, Senior Green Corridors Officer, St Nicks
