## Resource

In this inspiring episode of Craftcast, our hosts sit down with David Barton, Press Officer for the Province of Essex, to explore the Third Pillar of UGLE’s Strategy: Community Engagement. From organising Easter egg donations and VE Day flag distributions to spearheading Essex’s award-winning initiatives and founding the impactful ‘Get Started Art’ charity, David shares the powerful impact of service beyond charity. This episode is filled with selflessness, strategic thinking, and the reminder that service isn’t about money – it’s about action, time, and dedication.
