It's that time of year! And to celebrate, we recorded a Christmas special for The Social Work Community Podcast.
The social work sector and the face of Community Care have both changed a lot over the past 50 years. As it is Community Care's 50th birthday year, we got some of the longest-standing members of the our team together for this one-off special.
For this episode, I sat down with three colleagues, who, together, have been at Community Care for a whopping 80-plus years!
All three were fairly resistant to the idea of recording an episode, but with some sweet-talking I managed to persuade Mithran Samuel, editor of Community Care, Natalie Valios, senior content editor on Inform Adults, and Nicky Davies, head of partnerships and events, to come to our London office one morning for a chat.
About the guests
Mithran started at Community Care 20 years ago as chief reporter, and has since moved up the ranks to his current role as editor. Mithran writes the majority of news stories on the site as well as bearing overall responsibility for the Community Care websute.Natalie started over 30 years ago, in 1993, as a sub-editor, and worked in different editorial roles. She left Community Care in 2009 for a brief hiatus and then came back - she simply could not stay away!
Nicky joined in the late 80s in a sales job and has since progressed to her current role, overseeing a rewarding career of 36 years.
