One person thankful for their new role and a group of people being thanked for their part in community cohesion.

Matt Forsyth is now Vice President of the Methodist Conference and in this episode tells us about his view of the role, how he aims to fulfil what it requires and where the hope and optimism lie.

It's a two part conversation and sat right in the middle are a collection of wonderful stories from New Parks Methodist Church in Leicester.

Men's Sheds is a voluntary charity group that aims to create a safe space for the community to allow people to refurbish tools, do some gardening or work on their own projects. Or just a place to meet others and socialise.

They have supported those with depression and suicidal thoughts and helped turn lives around; to bring direction and meaning.

They were one of the groups thanked at the " One Big Thankyou " event hosted by the church and what a lovely occasion it was. A celebration of a truly diverse and caring community, it honoured so much wonderful work and volunteering and One Voice takes up the story, starting with Justin Moulder.

Make sure you listen out too for a couple of important events coming up this month ( July ) and support them if you can.
