Podcast series - Changing It Up: An Equipment Matters Special

After a few years away, Clenton and Nick are back - relaunching Changing It Up, aka CommChats, the Community Catalysts Podcast. Get ready for some fascinating and useful reflections from a diverse mix of guests who are truly changing it up and breaking the mould in social care, community work, health, housing, and beyond. Our first guest, the inspirational Isaac Samuels, joins us to reflect on the 'Equipment Matters' co-production group, exploring all things community equipment and co-production. Through an in-depth discussion, we get to the heart of what makes community equipment work through the lens and lived experience of those who use it. And what about those quick-fire questions we hear you asking. Are they still a thing? Oh, absolutely. But they’ve had a bit of a refresh. We've retired our classics e.g. 'What would you do with a million quid?' and 'Where do you like to go on holiday?' and replaced them with the all-new Clenton’s 'Famous Five'… or four (time dependent). Subscribe now wherever you get your podcasts.
