We cannot avoid the fact that we are a part of our local community and environment. We use schools, leisure centres, shops, libraries, parks and other shared facilities. Involvement in our local community connects us with the world around us. There are always things we can do to help people or protect and improve the environment. This has a positive impact and reduces our footprint. One of the best ways of helping out is by joining a local group or club.
