 The Channel 4 News broadcaster is joined by leading lights of the entertainment, charity and political world where they reveal the causes that are important to their lives.
Lenny Henry, Tanni Grey-Thompson, John Bird and Victor Adebowale join Jon to discuss what they do to help their communities, why they do it and why we should all get involved.
Made to mark the end of the Year of the Volunteer, each 30 minute programme is dedicated to the extraordinary people who give their time to help others and make a difference to us all.

The series ends with Victor Adebowale, Chief Executive of social care charity, Turning Point, and People’s Peer. He reveals what motivates him and discusses how to really tackle drug misuse.
