Bristol Roadshow
"I don't feel so isolated in the work I do now."
The CSJ Roadshows got off to a flying start last week with an event held in Bristol. An audience of local volunteers and charities heard presentations from CSJ Alliance members John Nolan of the Nelson Trust; Richard Cooper of the Source Cafe, Aldershot; and Charles Drew of Amber. Dr Samantha Callan, CSJ Chairman in Residence, presented the CSJ policy work at an event chaired by Chris Bullivant, CSJ Projects Director.
Delegates said they were "inspired" by the presentations, with some saying they were really encouraged to see the wealth of voluntary activity in the city concluding, "I don't feel so isolated in the work I do now."
