Good evening, ladies and perhaps a few gentlemen too. Welcome to the first episode of 'Women's Hour' on Radio Soapbox. I'm your host, Shelley Tasker. This show is dedicated to giving you ladies a chance to relax and unwind from your weekly chores. Tonight, we have two incredible guests. First, we speak with Hayley Gilbert, the founder of Camborne Children's Clothes Bank in Cornwall, UK. Hayley shares her inspiring journey of setting up the clothes bank, the challenges she faced, and the immense community support she receives. She talks about the various items they collect, from clothes to baby prams, and how they help families in need, including those escaping domestic violence. Hayley's dedication and the impact of her work are truly heartwarming.

Next, we chat with Abby Matthews, a single mum of three from Camborne, known for her energetic and joyful runs around town with her pushchair. Abby shares her passion for running, how it helps her mental health, and her desire to spread positivity. She talks about her routine, the reactions she gets from the community, and her aspirations to run the London Marathon. Abby's story is a testament to the power of staying active and spreading joy.

We also discuss the importance of community involvement, the challenges faced by those in need, and the simple yet powerful ways we can all contribute to making a difference. Tune in to hear these inspiring stories and more. If you have any life hacks, stories, or want to recommend someone for an interview, please get in touch at [email protected].
