You contribute time and effort and skills to change people’s lives and I think that the community sector’s very good at being in the front line of where need is. Government’s often a long way behind where the interventions really needed and I think it’s fulfilling. You get joy out of it, sometimes you get heartache, but you are helping improve people’s lives.
