Episode Synopsis

Stacking boxes, dating tins, making tea, welcoming people who need help, lending a listening, non-judgmental ear – volunteers have powered the Trussell Trust food bank network for over 25 years. And while our army of 28,000 volunteers grows, more and more food banks are thinking about unlocking even more potential from the people that step up in their communities to help. Join host Garry Lemon, as he chats to Morecambe Bay’s number-crunching PhD student, Dan Clarkson and East Lothian’s agricultural ally, Brian Ford about their resourceful approach to volunteering, “paying it forward” and what the future holds for food banks.
