With so many huge problems in the world, it can be hard to know how you can help.
To better empower individuals to make a difference to those around them, Pro Bono News has launched How Can I Help?
Hosted by Pro Bono News editor Wendy Williams, the six-part series features conversations with people with lived experience and experts in the field on what we can do to help in situations that we all might encounter at some point in our lives – whether that’s when you see someone sleeping rough, if you think a friend or colleague is in an abusive relationship, or if a family member is suffering from depression.
This podcast is not going to solve the world’s problems. But it might just give some of us the tools we need to help make the world a better place.
Episodes will be published weekly.
You can find them below or listen on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or your favourite podcast app.
