PPC Sally Morgan Speaks Out for Volunteers and Carers

Tue 3rd Mar 2009

'The third sector' is local government speak for the voluntary sector. Personally I find that phrase rather irritating. Without volunteers our society would be in deep trouble. The fact that someone is willing to volunteer their time and resources for the good of others with no reward other than seeing positives for their community should be applauded. Those 200 or so young boys and girls who play football every Saturday and Sunday in Bovey Tracey would not be doing so if it were not for the volunteers who run the clubs and teams. Nor would the Scout hut occupy a corner of the park in Bovey and be the venue for activities and fun for our young people who go to Rainbows, Brownies, Cubs, Scouts, and Guides etc… The list is endless and there are countless organisations in our community that do so much good work, in fact I'd go as far as to say that they are the backbone of the community.
