Community service
The RSA's Annual Civic Day took place last month in Peterborough. Thirty-five RSA staff members worked with Peterborough Council to launch its Community Action Week. Volunteers took part in activities aimed at regenerating the river embankment, an area of the city that has been underappreciated in recent years. Local authorities in Peterborough have since decided to make the area a priority in the drive to improve the city’s sustainability.
