This week Active Shift spent some time on air with Katie Martin at BBC Radio Solent talking about community, connection and some of the pressures people are navigating in everyday life, both personally and at work.
Really good to have the opportunity to discuss some of these areas openly and we’re looking forward to returning again in June as part of a wider panel conversation.
