Simple actions to rebuild community Simple actions to rebuild community Matthew Pike From a letter by Matthew Pike, director of The Scarman Trust. Everyone agrees that we need to rebuild community and strengthen citizenship.
People are eager to do something, they just want to be told what and how.
In particular, people tell us they want suggestions of simple actions - things which do not demand too much time, effort, money, skill or confidence, but which can nevertheless begin to make an impact. We would like to receive your suggestion of a simple action which people could take. Ideally your suggestion will be based on a real life example, but it could just be an idea that occurs to you as you read this letter. Please just jot your idea down and send it to us, together with any supporting material you might have. Revd John Papworth has suggested a neighbourhood street party every bank holiday Monday.
