In this inspiring episode of the Made in Portsmouth Podcast, we sit down with Lamara Fudge — a dedicated community champion whose volunteering journey spans school fairs, governor boards, and grassroots neighbourhood projects. From transforming a school library into a magical reading haven, to co-founding the Fratton Residents’ Association, Lamara’s story is a testament to what’s possible when you roll up your sleeves and get involved.

We talk about the challenges of advocating for children with special educational needs (SEN), the creative chaos of organising community events, and the quiet but powerful ways local volunteers shape the lives around them. Along the way, Lamara shares heartfelt stories, behind-the-scenes insights into school governance, and the joy of seeing neighbours come together for a common cause.

Whether you’re a seasoned volunteer or just thinking about how to get involved in your community, this episode will leave you motivated, informed, and ready to take that first step.
