Local community groups do ground-breaking work right on your doorstep, and neighbours came out in their thousands to help them

Here are just some of the stories from projects organised for CSV Make a Difference Day.

National: The Alex and Friends Fun Club held a day to train volunteers on carpentry with a view to help older people renovate their homes and make them safe

Essex: Thurrock Volunteer Centre held a Conversation activity, where volunteers from all sectors of the community got to know each other while performing environmental tasks

Merseyside: Pagoda Chinese Youth Orchestra showcased a range of arts and traditions of China in the centre of Liverpool so that the cities residents could find out more about a cultural heritage borne on the other side of the world

CSV Make a Difference Day 2008 takes place on Saturday 25th October 2008 and any day from 18th October to the 1st November 2008.
