    It seems to me that we should have similar ventures for many other aspects of life. A sense of community has been lacking for so long. I moved to the Isle of Wight last summer and the care, concern and decency that’s missing elsewhere are abundant here. It’s a joy. As a woman now living on her own again, I feel safe and protected and know who to rely on in an emergency. I can’t tell you how often I nearly fall over when getting on or off my mobility scooter and a local is with me in an instant to see if they can help.
