Welcome back to the Recovery Devon Podcast.
We are kicking off Season 3 on Time to Talk day, to encourage people to get talking and sharing. To support Time to Talk this year we are relaunching the wonderful Happy 2 Share cards.
We are joined by one of Recovery Devons Directors, Debbie Williams, who was at the very beginning of this project in 2016 alongside Caron Sprake. Caron Sprake came up with the idea of the Happy 2 Share cards in 2016 and her successful bid for a Recovery Devon Community Development Fund led to the first printing of the cards. This was so well received that the cards were reviewed and printed again, attracting national attention including a Points of Light award.
Tune in to this episode of our podcast to hear all about the idea behind the cards, how it impacts Community Cafes, and how such a simple idea is making such a big difference in Devon and beyond.
A huge thank you to Debbie Williams for taking part in this podcast, and to Caron Sprake for starting the Happy 2 Share movement.
