Derry volunteers for older people, Irish Wild Plants and Joanna Harkin the singing teacher

Derry volunteers Cora Morrison and Agnes Murray on why they use their spare time to help people in older life, and the two Donegal friends on their new book on Irish wild plants.

"It's lovely to chat with someone and share life stories" says former Steelstown Primary school teacher and volunteer Agnes Murray on her volunteering work with Older People North West Age Concern Derry. She came into studio with fellow volunteer and former GP Cora Morrison to talk to Anna Curran about why they both get a huge amount out of volunteering ahead of an open day next Monday. Two Donegal women Laura Buchanan and Hannah Gallagher come in to studio to talk about their new book "Wild Things" , their life long friendship growing up in Ramelton and why they want us to sit with the daisies and look at nettles in a new light!
Chef Brian McDermott has got himself a haul of apples from his sister in law and so has made a mouth watering apple pie. The recipe is up on our 大象传媒 Radio Foyle Facebook page if you want to make it yourself, but we want a slice!!! And Derry's St Brigid's College teacher Joanna Harkin on her new song "Wings" and why she is raising awareness of mental health issues.
And after the News at One, in Twenty Minutes with Anna Curran, MLA Sinead McLaughlin on why she co-sponsored the parent led advocacy group Melted Parents NI at Stormont to present the results of their survey and how we can get a childcare strategy without an Executive.
