Project title: Know the City
What we are doing: We are trying to figure out what cool stuff is happening – and support it – in all 32 wards across the city, around community responses to climate change, coronavirus and environmental / social problems . We are creating web pages for all 32 wards in the city and populating each page with the most up-to-date and relevant information we can find. We cannot do this alone, obviously.
Why we are doing it : When we emerge from the lockdown, we need to know who is doing what where, so we can support / liaise with individuals and organisations across the city.
When we hope to have it “complete” by: We want this to be done by the end of the year at the absolute latest.
What we want from our volunteers: We want volunteers to ‘adopt’ at least one ward (starting with the one where they live) and do a systematic search on the internet (not just google) trying to track down information that is needed, while obeying GDPR.
