A vital Maldon charity has issued a rallying call for more volunteers as its future hangs in the balance.

Maldon and District Community Voluntary Service (CVS) is the charity behind several successful community projects and has been in operation for 14 years.

Yet sadly, its future is in jeopardy due to a dwindling number of trustees.

It has an existing team of five trustees but ill health means that this is likely to reduce.

Even without this concern, there is space on its board for another seven people.

Anyone interested in joining the CVS board should, in the first instance, contact the director, Sarah Laskar, on 01621 851891 or sarah@maldoncvs.org.uk
