Manage episode 436571611 series 2866535
In this heartfelt episode of The Mic Drop Club, we delve into the powerful stories of those at the forefront of volunteer work in Medway. Hosted by Douglas Hamandishe, Deputy Mayor of Medway, this episode features an enlightening conversation with Martyn Reeves, Chief Executive of Friends of Wisdom Hospice, and Pat, a dedicated volunteer whose personal journey of loss led her to find purpose in giving back.
Together, they share the incredible impact of volunteering on both the volunteers and the community. Martyn discusses the challenges and rewards of running a charity, while Pat opens up about how volunteering at Wisdom Hospice transformed her grief into a new sense of belonging and fulfilment.
This episode also pays tribute to Molly Wisdom, the visionary behind Wisdom Hospice. Molly’s legacy began with a simple yet profound call to action: she raised £2,000 through two coffee mornings, igniting the fundraising efforts that built the hospice. Her determination to create a space of comfort and care for the community continues to inspire volunteers and supporters today.
This episode explores:
- The vital role of hospices in providing compassionate end-of-life care and the myths surrounding these spaces.
- How Medway’s unique approach to volunteering and community support is making a difference.
- Inspirational stories that highlight the joy, purpose, and connection that volunteering brings to both the giver and the receiver.
