EPISODE 8 - VOLUNTEERS WEEK

Thank you for joining us for our latest episode. This time, we're joined by Bec Soundy, who oversees the volunteers who give up their time to support Forever Stars. Our charity is unique in that it's completely volunteer-run, and we're very proud of this, too. It's especially fitting that during Volunteers Week, we can shine a light on the amazing work they do and say a huge thank you from all of us. In this episode, Bec shares her family's own story of baby loss, how she first encountered Forever Stars and how you can get involved, too.
