The York Unlimited campaign is aiming to transform mental health on a local, national and international scale, through supporting on the ground initiatives and the latest groundbreaking research and we will be sharing some exciting news next week regarding our brilliant new plans for The Great York Walk 2021 event.

As Stephen says, "it's always important to remember it's always OK to ask for help".

<description>The Zanzibar archipelago is known for its central role in international commerce during the 19th century, during a period of Omani colonialism. Yet the richness of the Omani period has masked a deeper history of urbanism and of large-scale networks of trade and mobility. This podcast explores that deeper history, through a focus on the site of Unguja Ukuu where University of York research is currently exploring the growth of towns from the 8th century AD onwards and their relationship with local resources and landscapes.
