Quote of the week

Life isn't about finding yourself, it is about creating yourself'

If you cannot mould yourself entirely as you would wish, how can you expect other people to be entirely to your liking?

Lavenham Good Neighbour Scheme launch



Mrs Jean Chantler receives her badge!

Yesterday I went along to the launch of the Lavenham Good Neighbour Scheme. Suffolk is one of the leading counties in the country when it comes to organising these schemes, which aim to help local people in permanent or temporary need with transport and difficulties they may experience at home.    

Lavenham is the 32nd community in the county to start a Good Neighbour Scheme, and given the good attendance at the launch yesterday I think that it will be a great success.

I know that it has taken a good deal of effort by Doreen Twitchett and her committee of six to get the organisation up and running.  There are some 17 fully registered volunteers at present, and  a further 20 are waiting for formalities to be completed.   

If your village is interested in starting a similar scheme full details and help are available from Community Action Suffolk.
