Back extra community day bank holiday
Pentonville Road, London.
THROUGHOUT October thousands of people across the country have been giving time to help transform communities by volunteering for Community Service Volunteers' Make a Difference Day.
This year it was linked with the Dare to Care: Make Time to Help End Child Poverty campaign and recruited volunteers to help pupils with their reading, coach disabled children's sports teams and organise fun days out.
So much can be achieved by a single day of action but imagine the impact if millions of people volunteered?
Along with the TUC and other leading volunteering charities we are pushing for the Government to provide an extra Community Day bank holiday which would allow people to take part in projects that benefit their local area.
Readers who wish to support the extra bank holiday can visit www.communityday.org.uk
