The ultimate goal of community building is to nurture an active and supportive community.

Yet, as many of our clients and partners will know, achieving this is easier said than done – it’s not a walk in the park. Digital tools can help of course and Made Open are committed to providing some answers in this space.

We invite you to join our webinar where we’ll share some of our learnings, and our clients learnings, to the following question:

“How can we nurture an active and supportive community using digital platforms?”

We’ll share our own approaches for building better communities and open up the discussion so that you can tell us what more you’d like to see from us.

This is the first in a series of events designed to connect our clients, partners and contacts working in community development so that they can share experiences and shape their own strategies.

Our guest speaker will be Lee Hind from PAVS (Pembrokeshire Association of Voluntary Services). Lee is leading the development of three timebanking community platforms in West Wales. Lee will share some of the challenges and successes he and his team have experienced since the launch earlier this year.
