A conversation with Gill Evans who, along with other social work colleagues, set up the first women's refuge in Newtown.  Gill set up the refuge in her spare time with no funds.  Later in her later career working in mental health, Gill met some of the same children again. We talk about what these families, children and young people need in order to recover.

Join me as I listen to Nadine's amazing story of determination, commitment and support.  Nadine talks about swimming in the cold, in the dark, through jelly fish for hours and hours.  She also talks about how to manage the gremlins we all have in our minds which tell us we can't, shouldn't, aren't good enough.  The thing that touched me in this conversation was not only her strength of focus, but also the centrality of the support boat and Nadine's loved ones who helped her from coast to coast.

The places who helped Nadine are:

Colin Tucker's life has been shaped by the steam trains of north Wales.  It was on a family holiday as a young teenager that he first fell in love with the engines and the mountains and later, it was through the same tracks, that he found his wife and his future career.  Colin is the Nuclear Safety Group Head at Sizewell B, and which includes the role of Station Reactor Physicist. He is also an old school friend who helped me understand my physics O' Level without making me feel stupid.  In this conversation his passion for the subject is clear, as is his awareness and concern for safety and environmental impacts.  For me, one of his key talents, is that he can explain even the most complex ideas in simple and clear ways. 

Colin has recently had his first book published called 'How to Drive a Nuclear Reactor'.
