People are being encouraged to volunteer in their community.

Essex County Council's Good for Essex roadshow visited George Yard shopping centre in Braintree last week. Residents used a special photo booth, where they could record their skills and interests to be matched with a suitable placement.

They can share their pictures on the campaign Facebook page www.fb.com/goodforessex for a chance to win £100 worth of entertainment vouchers.

Those who could not attend can also take part in the competition or visit www.goodforessex.org to find volunteering opportunities.
