A Tale of Two Counties

In this developing podcast series, Matt Evans (Active Lincolnshire) talks with Charlie Coward (Active Dorset) about what they have both learnt and experienced through working in the system. Charlie has been working in this way for several years whereas Matt is only in his first year.
