Step Forward & Network!
Hello all!Introducing ourselves here.Step Forward & Network is an independent group based in East London whose main aims are to bring individuals, community groups and charitable organisations together.At a time when national and local government are implementing policies that limit access to services/resources and are pitching individuals/communities/organisations against each other under the guise and rhetoric of ‘austerity’, Step Forward & Network would like to counter some of the effects by bringing people together to: 1. Identify skills and resources, share ideas/information and network. 2. Plan, support and encourage community development projects which address the specific needs and interests of individuals and communities, exploiting the knowledge and skills of those best placed to deliver and participate in them.
We have plans for intial meetings next month where we will be inviting people to come together, talk about the projects they do, the projects they would like to do, ask advice, share information etc.Join us on facebook:https://www.facebook.com/groups/222275574491383/We are also looking for people to write for our blog:http://stepforwardnetwork.blogspot.com/ Email us:stepforwardnetwork@gmail.com
