Hi, I’m Lucy the East Somerset CAG coordinator.

I have been running a community venue for the last 5 years and I have witnessed the impact that community groups have on the people that use them and the community network. I’m a true believer that community action is one of the keys to the power of change within local networks.

Communities working together to reduce waste going to landfill by setting up groups that are inclusive and supportive to their cause have a real social impact and I love being able to support groups going forward with the help they might need. I’m looking forward to working with all the different community groups. If you would like to reach out my email is lucy.smith@resourcefutures.co.uk
