Special invitation to all local voluntary & community groups

A special meeting is being held on 8th September 2010, to talk about the potential & actual impact on local communities/groups as a result of the new government cuts. We are trying to get as many local community/voluntary groups to attend this meeting so that local communities/groups can be supported to campaign around areas which have the greatest impact on them.
It is extremely important to encourage and enable members from local community groups to come along to this day so that they can have their say, hence influence future campaigns /priorities.
