Last Tuesday I paid a visit to Bristol to visit the cluster of UK online centres in the city that are part of the talk about local project. Whilst there I met up with Don Jenkins, one of our busiest UK online centre trainers in the Bristol area, whose hard work has resulted in some great local websites such as the Kingsley House, created by The Kingsley House Tenants Association to try and improve the upkeep of the council-maintained apartment block and gardens. Above is a little video clip of Don talking about his experience of delivering the talk about local training.
Nicky is the Communications Manager at Talk About Local – recruiting, training and working with IT trainers and active citizens across the UK to help them create and develop simple yet effective community websites and online profiles. She managed the popular Birmingham hyperlocal website Digbeth is Good since it began in May 2008 until December 2011. Nicky is interested in ways of using storytelling, game-playing and events within communities to tell their stories and effect positive change.

Just watched Don relaying the good work he has been doing. He’s walking round Ashton Learning Centre with a big smile on his face!
