Community Support
A community isn’t just an area of land – a postcode or village, town, suburb or street. It’s people. It’s goodwill. It’s coming together to achieve a shared goal or offer support in a crisis.
It is all of these things and more and in the Stanley area we’re lucky to have such strong bonds that will see us through the difficult situations and emerge a more robust, more united community.
In my last update, I focused on the outstanding work of PACT House, which has mobilised incredibly since the very beginning of this crisis. Offering meals and free teas & coffee literally all day with a friendly warm smile.
