Welcome to yet another episode of the Tech for Good Live podcast. Nothing can stop us. Not the pandemic, not the deep sense of shame we feel at the end of every episode, and not even that online petition that Bex's mum started. Nothing!

In this show we're talking about volunteering! We're talking about free school meals! And – just to mix things up – we're talking about Facebook.

Bex is on hosting duties and is joined by TFGL team members Jonny Rae-Evans and Greg Ashton

Our special guest this week is Matt Williams, self declared Generalist and problem solver.

Recorded on Oct 27 2020.

Discussed on the show:
