Description

Showcasing volunteer work and initiatives. County Wicklow PPN worked with garden county radio to highlight work that voluntary groups were doing to provide services to the community during covid. Lynsey Dolan prerecorded interviews with volunteers regarding their projects and initiatives. This was then aired on the radio the following day. The interviews are now in podcast form so there is a radio history of how wicklow communities have galvanised to support the most vulnerable members of their local communities
