Today I visited the cafe run by the Better Living in Southborough Society (BLISS).
BLISS is a community group. It took over empty shop premises opposite the Fire Station in Southborough and turned it into a cafe, meeting place and small shop. It runs activities for all ages and hosts meetings with representatives from a number of organisations including the CAB, police, housing association and Connexions.
An example of the Big Society before the the concept was dreamed up by Cameron's back-room boys.
Well worth a visit to see community engagement in action.
KENT COMMUNITY ACTIVIST: acerbic, carping, caustic, curmudgeonly,critical, cynical, grumpy, moaning, sardonic and plain speaking.
