communities have huge resources, but need support

What I think Scotland can learn from all this -that communities have huge resourcefulness and goodwill which often only needs to be encouraged to come out, but also that communities like Milton have very limited resources, so the help of funders/government is vital. Much of the food was funded from government, many referrals came from SCVO helplines, the church hall is requiring major investment that is beyond the resources of a small congregation and even a large denomination (which is in dire financial and membership straits and is totally dependent on the voluntary contributions of its mainly elderly members).
