My job, like all jobs, has its ups and downs.  However, I absolutely love this time of year when we give out the cheques for our Community Chest awards.  It is a real pleasure to be able to help clubs and groups financially when such funding can be difficult for them to fund otherwise.

The people of Dersingham have really got behind the scheme and this became evident when the awards were distributed last week.  We had two PCSOs, the Vicar, Parish Councillors, Scout and guide leaders and numerous Brownies as well as repesentatives from charities, all arrive in the store to take part.  It was a real joy to see and hopefully we will be able to visit the beneficiary groups to see the difference that we have made.

Community retailing is all about the Community and its an honour to be part of it.
