- Society & Culture
Up and down the country, communities have been coming together to help each other in our greatest time in need, this has been a refreshing sign of collective spirit. A few weeks ago, the Government appealed for 250,000 volunteers to support our National Health Service in the United Kingdom. They received 750,000 applications in a matter of days. Now, more than ever we are learning about the intrinsic value of local cooperation so we thought it would be nice to speak with Joy Wolfe MBE who has dedicated her life to serving her local community and the Jewish community. Born in 1938 and a fanatic Manchester City FC fan; Joy Wolfe MBE has played a part in over 25 different charity, community, educational and political organisations. She is an inspiring lady and can share a lot of lessons which I hope we will value much more so when this crisis is over. Joy spoke to us about how she began volunteering in her community, how important it is not just for her but to those around her and the gratification she gets from her charity ventures. There is a natural resilience that accompanies her views, she sees the advantages and opportunities of everything that comes her way.
We’re looking for support in our charity efforts! Our podcast reaches 1000’s of young listeners from across the world. Therefore, we thought we should positively make use of the large audience that we are fortunate to have and find an advertising partner to work with. We are giving away two short slots before and after each show. Our intention is to donate 100% of the advertising proceeds to Age International or an equivalent international charity of your choice that supports caring for older people in our community. If you are interested, please let us know at itstheirlives@gmail.com
There was an obvious reason for beginning this podcast "Their Lives." We want to hopefully:
1. Allow for our older generations to inspire our younger generations with their stories
2. To give our older generations a platform to collectively reminisce
3. To entertain our audience & most importantly send them on their way with lessons that they can practically use during these times.
We're also looking for feedback! If you enjoyed this podcast, please do consider leaving us a rating on Apple Podcasts so that we can reach more people with these inspiring stories. You can send me your feedback on: Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.
We have also begun counting down our top 100 inspiring people over 70 to celebrate the wisdom of those who have brought so much to the world. You can find more info on our blog.
