Today was full of bits and pieces: a flurry of meetings and telephone calls and e-mails and discussions and enquiries.

I received a copy of What Makes a Successful Local Compact which includes lots of references to Hertfordshire. I met with the PCT to discuss a project which we are undertaking for them. I wrote to other Herts CVSs forestalling any slight drift toward co-ordinating certain employment terms and conditions: once we start going down that route I know very well where it will end!

I talked with a local group currently beset by conflict. The voluntary sector is indeed a many splendoured thing. But we are human and so occasionally disputes arise; these are very often easily resolved but people have to be ready to resolve them - and sometimes people aren’t quite ready.
