Editor's Notes
- Anyone met anyone interesting? Learnt anything? I know little about CS - but I expect to know a lot more after the next hour or so. But that’s history in a way - what I want to us to engage in is he future - about CS’s vision and your role in that vision. Intros - who I am - show of hands? New to CS: more than a couple of years: retired: involved in other voluntary work
- What we want to achieve - sharing experience doing some thinking learning something new maybe taking away a few tricks to use again

- Cs is successful because it delivers ideals - and a vision - that everyone can support: reduced crime, a safer more secure society, engagement with others - especially young people and those in communities most affected by crime: often people who are not like us. In many ways is isn’t about telephone lines, and cash rewards, it’s about acting as exemplars in society - for some of you the good Samaritan is a story that doesn’t need to be told. But the key part of that story, the role of the individual in society, the volunteer to ‘do good’, the key is that we all have to be like that, all the time. That, I think, is quite a challenge - but one, that by your volunteering for CS and your presence here today, I think you are all up to.
