Strategic reflection

Christmas, for me, is always a time for looking back and taking stock, and with the New Year comes a chance for looking to the future. I thought it would be an opportune time to reflect on my first seven months in the voluntary and community sector and what I’ve learned.

What role can the voluntary sector play in putting things back together again?

I don’t think you would find anyone who would disagree that food is vitally important to our health and wellbeing: not only do we need it to stay alive it also gives us pleasure, allows us to share and celebrate and connects us to our land, different cultures and to our neighbourhoods, friends and family.
