On this episode, Shaid Mahmood (Chief Officer of Communities, Leeds City Council) is joined by Richard Jackson (Chief Officer- Voluntary Action Leeds and Inclusive Growth Strategy ambassador) and Joanna Resnick (Producer, Slung Low) to discuss the enormous efforts from the third sector during the current pandemic.
