AGM of Sleaford CAB
Local MP Stephen Phillips was the guest speaker at the Annual General Meeting of Sleaford Citizens' Advice Bureau last week. Talking about the theme of the 'Big Society', and what it actually means for communities like ours, Stephen stressed that whilst towns and cities may have lost a sense of community cohesion, his experience is that volunteering and looking out for everyone in the community is very much alive and well in Lincolnshire. Stephen drew attention to the fact that even in these difficult times, the British people still give more than £10bn to charitable causes, but also stressed the need for businesses to do more to support local charities and the communities in which they are established. Concluding by expressing his support for the Government's policies to assist charities and community groups, matched by new funding, Stephen thanked all at the CAB for their hard work in helping those in and around Sleaford with a wide variety of issues and indicated just how this vital this work is in the current economic climate.
