The second in the series of the Big Green Q and A Podcasts ‘Second Chances’ is now LIVE for people to listen to below.

Moreover, the team highlight success stories—individuals successfully reached, who have transformed adversity into positivity, cultivating fulfilling careers that bring positive change and stability into their lives.
