In this episode Matt and Chris meet with Amy Stow from Shift.Ms to discuss their innovative charity for people living with Multiple Sclerosis (MS).
We talk about the special co-productive approach the charity takes as a charity by MSers for MSers. We talk about how the charities roots in digital and creative industries shapes their work differently to some other charities, and above all we discuss their groundbreaking volunteering model called 'The Energy'
