Then why not do something about it?

Starting up your own group isn’t impossible, and there is support out there.

The Centre for Voluntary Services provides support for all kinds of organisations and ideas.  Our local one is at http://www.cvsstalbans.org.uk/

On their county website you can find out more about the opportunities including their informative newsletter at: http://www.hertscvs.org.uk/ which covers funding opportunities and the like.

Councillor Allan Witherick said “We all start somewhere.  Seeing something needs to be done is different to doing something about it.  The tools are out there and I myself have been involved with a number of different voluntary organisations- what’s stopping you?”
