 A wide range of things have been offered: guitar lessons, help with getting funding, carwashing etc, etc.
All the requests and connections are beautifully drawn up onto a big sheet of paper.
Afterwards, people check in with those who responded to the gifts/needs/wishes to make arrangements! (Bring your diaries!)
These circles are of immediate benefit to long term unemployed, disabled and those with other challenging issues affecting their inclusion in mainstream society as well as to those committed.
It is also of benefit to those who are committed to doing something about the issues confronted by people so often excluded, by offering a clear opportunity for contribution.
By gathering allies and participants to share wants needs and offers new possibilities for reciprocal relationships evolve.
Community circles build the capacity of ordinary unpaid community members to be involved in making the UK a safer, friendlier, and more supportive community for all its members.
By engaging “consumers” and the community at large in this way, we strive to build a national community where all of us have enough money, healthy relationships, and a sense of purpose and meaning.

  Whenever possible Veggies feature the publications of the Movement for Compassionate Living, which we print and distribute to promote simple living and vegan self-reliance as a remedy to the exploitation of humans, animals and the Earth. We also support our nominated charity, Vegfam, ‘Feeding the hungry without exploiting animals’. If you can help us with either of these projects at this event, whilst we are busy with Veggies catering, please email pat@veggies.org.uk.
