In 1973/74 a group drawn from the churches, caring professions, local associations and social services combined to form the Community Care Group, under the co-chairmanship of the Reverend Denis Green, Hannah Stanton and Dr. David Woodroffe. They worked from an office in the United Reformed Church in Hampton Hill High Street. Their objective was to tackle deprivation and social isolation wherever it occurred in the Hamptons. Their approach; to foster a spirit of 'community consciousness' and neighbourliness through a dynamic policy of helping people to help themselves, and each other. The Group,now the Hampton and Hampton Hill Voluntary Care Group (VCG) today operates from the spacious modernity of The Greenwood Centre. Over the years, we have reacted positively to the challenges posed by changing times and technologies. We have, however, steadfastly held true to what we perceive our primary function.. .that of innovatively linking needs to resources in the interests of promoting community health and wellbeing. ....CREATING FOR TOMORROW VCG continues
to build bridges with other community-based organisations, developing
existing partnerships and forming new ones to help integrate services
and facilities This is entirely appropriate in that it complements
both local and national strategies such as best value, lifelong
learning and healthy living centres.
