THE second episode of a podcast lifting the lid on the work of St Giles Hospice has been released.
We're Dying to Tell You Something has been developed in partnership between the Whittington-based charity and students from Birmingham City University.
The latest edition explores what drives people to volunteer, the difference volunteers make to patients and families, and the unexpected joy that can come from loss and community support.
It features long-time volunteer Joan Fairley along with couple Rachel and Andy Barker, who met through bereavement support at the hospice.
Elinor Eustace, chief executive of St Giles Hospice, said:
"Volunteers are the heart of St Giles. This episode celebrates their incredible generosity and shows how volunteering can transform lives – not just for the people we care for, but for the volunteers themselves."
The podcast was recorded at St Giles Hospice and created by media production students Maya Davis and Kyle Salmon as part of their course under the guidance of senior lecturer Meera Darji and editor Dan Whitehouse.
The next episode will launch in July, featuring extreme fundraiser James Lewis, who is currently running and dribbling a football thousands of miles from Africa to Rugeley to raise funds for the charity.
We're Dying to Tell You Something is available now on Spotify, Apple Music and Amazon Music. For more details, visit www.stgileshospice.com/were-dying-to-tell-you-something-podcast.
