Why groups and institutions are important
Pansy Jeffrey from Guyana was a co-founder of the Pepper Pot Centre. It started as a drop in centre in 1980, where seniors from the African and Caribbean community in the UK could meet.
Groups and institutions are everywhere. Our school is an educational institution. Within our school institution, groups exist such as our particular class and interest groups such as drama or chess clubs. Our family is a social institution as well as being a social group. This is because there are millions of families around the world and society has been built on families for thousands of years. However, we are all also part of one single family group.

There are many reasons why groups and institutions are important. Institutions are important in the community for religious, financial, political, educational or cultural reasons. Groups exist for many reasons. Some groups are social, others develop skills or interests and others may help the community in some way. Many groups do all of these things.
