Why do we volunteer? Why do we give back?
It’s a question that was asked several times throughout the staff day in which Laura and Rob shared their first engagements with many Community First staff (having primarily been working with the Charity’s Senior Management Team up to this point).
For each person, the answer was different – but the outcome was often the same… Many people…. many families, are given access to help and support that they usually would never have access to.
Giving back and helping those less fortunate around us is something we should all be doing more and better.
Community First is a local Wiltshire charity that touches several aspects of rural Wiltshire from providing care and support for the elderly and vulnerable, to providing activities for skills development for the young to providing local transport links to make services more accessible for residents living in hard to reach communities.
Taking part in the staff day, engaging Community First staff allowed us not only to learn more about the Charity, but also the challenges (such as skills shortages, awareness and funding) and the opportunities available to leave a real legacy in social development in our local communities.
A fantastic day, full of insight – setting the road map for building brighter futures for our communities.
