Following last year’s successful AGM, we’ll again be celebrating and showcasing some of the fantastic projects being carried out by communities in Herefordshire and Worcestershire. The spotlight will be on the people who put in the really hard work of turning ideas into action

and members of local community groups will be coming along to talk about what they’ve been doing. So if you have an idea for a project or you’re already involved in your

community, do come along. It promises to be a really inspirational event!

This year’s AGM is a great opportunity to hear from other

getting things off the ground and how they have managed to get

people involved, harness volunteers, create a ‘can do’

attitude and develop community spirit.
