Episode 112: Urgent funds needed for Bromley youth charity JusB

Darren Weale interviews Ned McWhirter, Project Manager with Bromley-based youth charity JusB. We also hear from Jake, a 15-year old volunteer. 
As Ned points out, "Being a young person is difficult". The company, advice, music recording opportunities, social activities, cooking, and chance to get homework done, for young people with a range of needs, including some excluded from school, means this is a very important service.
JustB has to raise £75,000 by the end of June or face closure. It has, as of when this episode is published, raised £40,000 of this sum. Please contribute if you can. A donation link is here.
