What's in it for you - Organisations and groups

Organisations and groups.
The User Manual is not designed to create more work for people, but to use and project, the work folk have already done.
Organisations and Groups
“I’m to busy I don’t have time to deal with this. Could you come back in two weeks” is a usual response to a phone call to the local group, campaign, or community centre.
The User Manual, could help to save you time or to help to make the produce of your time more useful:
Like - why create literature, ideas, leaflets, posters research for events or various purposes, then put them in a filling cabinet, or on a redundant website, where they are of use to no one.
Why not share what was useful and what were the pitfalls of projects, or events, with other organisations and hear from other organisations, what they have found useful.
For instance. Why is almost everyone in every organisation, group, sitting filling in the same grant forms for the same things and the same purpose. The only difference being their geographical position. Why repeat all this tedious work, instead of combining our efforts and helping each other out.
I have known organisations literally around the corner from each other, never mind in another area, who don’t know the other existed. We can find ways of how we can be of use to each other in this situation.
We need to be aware of the successes that are happening in our communities and we need to tell everyone about them. What are our strengths and weaknesses.
In other words. We need to create a bank of useful information instead of everyone repeating the same old routine over and over again.
The same goes for individuals doing, or potentially interested, in doing and organising community activities. Folk could ask for help or offer their help in a section of the website dedicated to this.
We need to us IT technology to the best of our abilities. Even though not everyone has a computer, or knows how to use one. Practicaly everyone knows someone who does. Send me any information no mater how little indicating, who you are. What you do. What you want to do
What I require is website links, some text outlining ideas for inclusion. If you want others to hear what you are doing, the effort is sometimes as easy as “sending another email” I am happy to talk, do workshops about this project, to groups or individual members of the community to see if it could be of use to them, or how their project could use the website. I look forward to hearing from you. Bob
