Hear from Clodagh Byrne, our lead resilience adviser, on what you can expect from this issue of Kin and why VSO's work is so important right now:
I’m Clodagh, and I lead on VSO’s resilience work helping communities prepare for and adapt to extreme weather patterns. I believe that through volunteers, we can make the biggest change. Volunteers ensure our work is led by what the community needs – we’re helping real people with their real problems.
Can we rise to the challenge of climate change? It’s the VSO community of supporters like you that makes me think, yes, we can. It’s heartening to know there are others who recognise that duty to be there for our fellow human.
Right now, VSO needs you. If you can, donating to VSO is the single best thing you can do, so we can continue supporting communities in their time of crisis. Thank you.
