Stand still and be counted

Part of today I spent addressing a long-standing problem we have had to find a satisfactory way of classifying our member groups. Every funder and government agency it seems has its own system of classification, and Herts CVSs have adopted another method. But none seems to come close meeting our needs at Watford CVS.

I also sent out some invitations to private companies to see if we could get a commercial organisation to sit on our Watford Community Fund Panel overseeing the Grassroots Grants programme. We shall see what response we get.

We are beginning to feel a few pressures on our space at 149 The Parade and on my way home I visited some possible new offices for some of our staff. They weren’t absolutely ideal, but then what could be? I await further details.

When I returned home, I found that Jackie had tweaked her ankle so we cried off our dancing and relaxed at home.
