About this listen

 A new podcast reveals a time rich army of volunteers and people embracing new challenges as they take on the retirement years. Many people dream of retirement but the reality of giving up work can often be stressful and traumatic. Loss of status and depression can kick in. A brand new podcast focuses on ways of tackling one of the most challenging transitions many of us ever face. Grey Matters has been produced by three retired friends whose credits include the BBC, ITN, Sky, and more. They have all faced the sudden realisation of retirement and the ups and downs it can bring.roy.player

    Grey Matters More: Food banks.
    Jan 9 2026

    The Grey Matters More podcast team spent a few hours with the volunteers at the warehouse based in York


    “The foodbank was there when we really needed it, it was an absolute lifeline.”


    We don’t think anyone in our community should have to face going hungry. That’s why we provide three days’ nutritionally balanced emergency food and support to local people who are referred to us in crisis. We are part of a nationwide network of foodbanks, supported by The Trussell Trust, working to combat poverty and hunger across the UK.
