Podcast Description
So Who Cares Anyway with host Ruth Germaine with her inspirational guest speakers will explore the incredible work and initiatives being undertaken in and with health and social care, as well as voluntary and community-based groups. We’ll discuss why their work matters and what difference they make to the people in their communities. I will also invite individuals with key messages or ideas about what needs to happen to significantly enhance our communities health and well-being.
To improve the health and wellbeing of people and achieve integrated care that focuses upon what matters to people, and what works for them, we all need to share learning, ideas and innovation, broadening our perspective of who cares, what they do and the difference that they make. My hope is that this podcast will provide a space for people to inspire and be inspired.
So, if you have a passion to make a difference to the health and well-being of your communities, join me, tune in and listen.

A wheelchair reaches a flight of stairs with no ramp in sight, and in that instant, more than access is lost. Today I’m talking to Juliana Ameh, a fellow Direct Membership Rotarian Rotary Direct Member, social worker, and the founder and chair of the charity Disability Equals Ability Disability Equals Ability, whose work reaches from local authority offices in the UK to communities across Nigeria.
Juliana and I follow the social model of disability into places I hadn’t quite gone before: what a missing ramp does to someone before they’ve even reached the building, and how the same pattern turns up in workplaces, universities, and mental health support on both sides of the world. We talk about community and connection, about what’s been gained and lost as institutions replaced family and neighbourliness, and about why someone might almost not show up to a workshop at all. It’s a conversation about systems and the people within them, about presence and care, and about what doing with, not to, could actually mean.
No spoilers on where it lands, but Juliana’s closing message stayed with me long after we stopped recording.
New episodes every couple of weeks, wherever you listen.
