My community service was teaching Sunday school to under 6's for a few years. When I reached Gold level and needed to do a week-long tramp I found that in its place I could do a longer stint of community service. So perhaps it's no surprise that 30 years on I am doing whatever I can to keep the Laura Fergusson Auckland home open. The present Laura Fergusson Board, some of whom have been there for over 15 years have decided to shut it. • Victoria Carter is a company director with a disabled family member and friends who relied on the Laura Fergusson facilities.
