There are amazing people who donate to the Trust monthly. We call them Friends of the Trust.
They provide long-term support to young people, which in turn leads to making a long-term difference to those young people’s lives.
We thought, wouldn’t it be nice if a Friend of the Trust could sit down with someone who’s benefitted from that long-term support, and who feels that Friends of the Trust have made a long-term difference to their life?
So that's what you're about to hear.
At the time of recording, Josh had been on three trips. Since then, he’s completed his training to become a volunteer with the Trust. He spoke with Stuart, a Friend of the Trust who has been donating monthly since 2014. He is a generous person through and through and exceptionally good company.
With this episode we hoped to communicate to Stuart the difference he was making, but we couldn't have imagined what the conversation turned out to be like.
We hope you feel as privileged as we did to be part of this conversation, and that you enjoy the longest episode of Sound Waves yet.
A shorter version of this conversation appears in this year’s edition of the Trust’s annual magazine, Inspire, which will be out in the next few weeks.
