From Poland to Manchester: How Zosia found purpose in giving back

from A Slice of Bread and Butter · host The Bread and Butter Thing

Behind every food bag at Bread and Butter is a dedicated volunteer like Zosia. Having escaped living under martial law in Poland, Zosia arrived in the UK in 1982 and immediately took on multiple jobs without seeking government support. This self-reliance continued as she raised three children while working. Join Mark and Alex as they talk about managing on a modest pension, property prices and finding purpose in giving back.
