It's been almost six months since we started our podcast 'Going the Extra Mile.' It came to be because we recognised that there are people among us—people who work to help others, raise awareness or form communities—and these are the people whose voices so rarely get heard. In this special edition, we look back on a few of the guests who spoke with us about their motivation, inspiration, and the values that lead them to selflessly spend their time and efforts creating a better community for others.Watch in video format here: https://www.itv.com/watch/news/going-the-extra-mile-the-selfless-voices-building-better-communities-across-northern-ireland/vntc2pm
