Quote by Richard Holloway

“There are many strengths in modern society, but one of its weaknesses is the breakdown of many of the old structures and networks that supported people in times of crisis and need.

Befriending schemes are a crucial part of this process, because they fill the gap that social erosion has left in the lives of so many vulnerable people.”

On days filled with the depths of despair, they can create. On days filled with the heights of joy, they can create.”
