That's a very good example Mr Red.

In our village, the older folk were getting too frail to continue the sterling work they've done for years organising events and keeping the village hall going etc. The younger ones started to moan that there was 'nothing for their children to do', and 'the community was dead'.

Now, we've got a super new young woman who's motivated other mums and dads, and the fundraising has been excellent. She organised a huge event last weekend which brought in several thousand pounds, and the village is rejuvenated.
But it was nice to see lots of us oldies there, serving at the stalls and helping still in many ways. She simply stepped in and got things done.
