Festival of Kindness - giving back this Christmas
This episode is all about fantastic work that Social Bite does and how Mitchells and Butlers is partnering with them. Social bite is a charity and chain of social businesses on a mission to end homelessness and they provide homes, jobs, food and support to empower people to transform their own lives.
Jonny and Jana have two interviews this time. The first interview is with Mel and Gemma from Harvester in Hillington. They chatted about the Jobs first, who as part of Social Bite, help people from challenging backgrounds to come back into work. Gemma's story is very touching and heartfelt, so we hope you enjoy it listening to it.
The second interview was recorded just outside Charing Cross station. They chat with Sara Reed who explains what the Festival of kindness is all about and how anyone can support people who are experiencing homelessness this year.
Across the Scotland and parts of the UK social bite have been putting up trees of kindness to encourage people to donate gifts for people experiencing homelessness and we have the interview with Sara from social bite there. But also we're supporting the festival of kindness within our businesses, so this is for the third year running. We've we supported this.
