74: Finding purpose in charitable work, with Mark Anness

We’ve discussed the importance of finding purpose in retirement on a number of podcast episodes and today’s guest seems to have done just that in charitable work.

Since retiring three years ago, Mark Anness has become heavily involved in a charity dear to his heart. In our interview Mark shares the story behind his involvement in Myra’s Wells and the inspirational work the charity does building wells for villages in rural Africa.

It was clear from our conversation that Mark gets a huge amount of satisfaction from working as Trustee.
