Manage episode 429297460 series 2554490
Curious about how volunteering can change lives and communities? This episode reveals the incredible work of Volunteering Matters, as we celebrate 40 years of Volunteers' Week.
Robert Henderson joins us to spotlight the Volunteering Matters Action Earth
project, which has empowered over 100,000 volunteers through more than 3,100 environmental initiatives across Scotland. From the Shettleston Community Growing Project in Glasgow to Bridgend Farmhouse in Edinburgh, discover how volunteer efforts have transformed these into vibrant community hubs.
Hear about innovative initiatives, such as the Cassiltoun Housing Association's 'feel good verandas', and learn why it's vital to step outside your comfort zone. We'll also discuss the importance of recognising volunteer contributions and the inspirational achievements that managed to gain international media attention.
Robert shares powerful insights into the unexpected benefits of nature volunteering, including improved physical health, mental well-being, and the formation of cross-generational friendships.
Joe Knowles, a dedicated Action Earth volunteer, recounts his journey from retirement to becoming an active community member through creative projects like building a Noah garden and bug hotels. Let Joe's passion and commitment inspire you to contribute to the preservation of Scotland's natural beauty and discover how you can make a difference in your own community.
