In this first episode of Local Lives: A Clarion Podcast, we speak to Kate, a Clarion resident who secured funding from Clarion Futures to launch a grassroots community project, and Gavin, a Communities Manager supporting local initiatives across the UK.

Together, they discuss how resident-led ideas can become real, lasting change – and the impact of community funding, trust and collaboration.

Hosted by Mihalis and Meg, this is an inspiring, down-to-earth conversation about building connections, overcoming challenges, and the power of local voices.

Real life. Real stories. Real impact.
