Derbyshire Historic Buildings Trust 'Buildings at Risk' app Launch - South Derbyshire - Sharpe's Pottery Museum

A public information session for all those interested in DHBT's new 'Buildings at Risk' digital app project.

You will be introduced to the B@R app and the purpose of the project as well as being provided with initial training. These meetings offer the chance to speak with the DHBT team, get hands-on support with the app, and enjoy refreshments.

There will be 2 parts to the session:

1. An introduction to the aims of the B@R app project followed by a quick guide to using the app and the short online training module. A Q&A will follow this part of the meeting along with refreshments.

2. This part of the meeting is for those who would like practical support downloading the app, completing their online training and joining the DHBT project on Mergin Maps. These steps can be completed at home for those that prefer to work through them at their own pace. Detailed instructions for how to get set up are available on the DHBT website.

Please note: You will not be able to join the DHBT B@R project on Mergin Maps until you have completed your online training and registration.

Optional Details: To help speed up your registration process, you can download the Mergin Maps app in advance of the meeting by searching for 'Mergin Maps' in your smart device's app store.

You do not need to create your own workspace, as once you have completed your training you will be invited to join ours. It is also recommended (but not essential) to bring your smartphone or tablet, particularly if you would like support setting up the app.

We look forward to seeing you there! If you have any questions please get in touch via Eventbrite or email us directly: volunteers@derbyshirehistoricbuildingstrust.org.uk
