Step Forward and Volunteer - June 2023

Step Forward and Volunteer is a monthly podcast from Lions Clubs British Isles featuring stories, information, and discussion about local community volunteering. Through conversations with inspirational guests, Step Forward and Volunteer celebrates the positive difference volunteering makes to communities across the British Isles and beyond.

In this episode, we are joined by Rhian Thomas and Elaine Maul from Ammanford Lions, mosaic artist Dani Lee, and community member and poet Melissa Lewis. They join us to talk about a stunning mural in Ammanford made by the hands and hearts of 50 local volunteers and Lions members. The mural was commissioned by Ammanford Lions to mark 50 years of supporting the town funded by a £5,000 National Lottery grant. Next, we hear from Rhian Thomas and Elaine Maul recalling how they stepped forward and joined Ammanford Lions.
