THE Queen’s Speech this year had a theme of reconciliation and the community coming together for this year.

We do see many angry and hurt people facing the most difficult times in their lives, with little in the way of being forward focused.

Those within the voluntary sector providing services of all kind should be blessed for their personal involvement in trying to support and just trying to make a difference through their organisation.

Let’s hope that this year instead of the divided community seen by many in 2014, once again the true British state of being united returns to our shores.
