CFEH AGM and Interagency & Volunteer Managers Forum

On Friday 9 September, CFEH held its Annual General Meeting at the Liphook Millennium Centre. Attended by over 70 members, volunteers and guests, the meeting celebrated the achievements of the organisation over the last 12 months and looked forward to the challenging times ahead. Damian Hinds MP was the keynote speaker and spoke on Government Priorities, Localism and the Big Society. He explained that the coalition is committed to localism through deregulation and decentralisation, empowering councils, groups and organisations within their communities. He ended by highlighting the three main challenges as he sees them, use of resources, finding easy ways to help and supporting volunteering.
