Community Voluntary Services Tendring held their third network breakfast on Friday 16 September.  Twenty-five Community workers from sixteen voluntary and statutory agencies gathered together to share breakfast and seized the opportunity to network with each other.  Fresh coffee and conversation flowed as everyone in attendance promoted their services at ‘speaker slots’.

Simon Ferrier from Royal British Legion spoke about how the Royal British Legion supports the welfare of all the armed forces and their families, from employment, counselling, debt, equipment, finding a place to live and many more services.   Beneficiaries do not have to have been involved in a conflict and carers are now included if they have an ongoing caring responsibility for beneficiary. 

One attendee said, “all the speakers were good and put their points over very well”. Another attendee was pleased with the “very informative presentations”.
