Feeling connected to our community is important for our perception of feeling safe, valued and part of the wider community. Community groups are key to this – whether it is community events, activities which encourage neighbours to get to know each other, joining a local community groups or volunteering.

“One of the marvelous things about community is that it enables us to welcome and help people in a way we couldn’t as individuals.”

(Jean Vanier)

At the Local Express we give such groups a forum to tell their stories and invite community participation.
