Listen to local community report

A ‘talking’ version of the Step Forward report on the value of local community volunteering by Lions Clubs International (British Isles), is now available as an audio booklet and download file. It is accompanied by both pdf and ‘flip’ editions of the digital report to offer easy ways to read and/or listen at: https://lionsclubs.co/Public/ step-forward-audio-booklet

The audio booklet was recorded by Samantha Boffin, a professional voice actor and director and former BBC broadcaster. Sam is also the host of the Lions podcast, Step Forward and Volunteer.

“Audio broadcasting is extremely popular with over 20 million podcast listeners in the UK,” explains Sam. “Having established an audience for the Lions monthly podcast –and the Talking LION magazine – now is a good time to produce additional ‘listen with Lions’ resources.”

The 32-minute Lions Get Involved audio booklet from Lions Clubs British Isles talks about the value of local community volunteering. It comprises six short guides that celebrate:

• the positive energy of young volunteers,

• the power of paying forward,

• the quiet work of helping others,

• the joy of sharing food and friendship,

• the vital role of welfare support,

• and the pride of belonging to a community.
