What IS the Big Society?
"Helping those less fortunate than us." That's the answer local MP Stephen Phillips received when he asked what the Big Society was all about on a recent visit to the New Life Community Larder in Sleaford, the Sleaford Standard's Charity of the Year. Meeting with Rod and Annie Munro and other volunteers and staff from the New Life Church Ministry, Stephen toured the premises and saw at first hand the fantastic work which the team is doing to support those who have been hit hardest by the tough economic times. Commenting after his visit, Stephen said, "Many people do not understand what the Big Society is all about. But it's projects exactly like this one which embody the community spirit which the Prime Minister and I wish to promote. I commend everyone at the New Life Community Larder for their hard work and dedication supporting some of the most vulnerable people in our community."
