In the second episode of Local Lives: A Clarion Podcast, we speak to Andrew, a former Clarion resident and Parish Councillor, about what community means to him, and why feeling connected matters.

Andrew shares how support from Clarion helped him through personal and health challenges, and highlights the vital role of care and connection in building stronger communities.

Hosted by Mihalis and Meg, this is a thoughtful conversation about the importance of empathy, visibility, and creating environments where everyone feels seen, heard and supported.
