Derbyshire Historic Buildings Trust 'Buildings at Risk' app Launch

Public information sessions for all those interested in DHBT's new 'Buildings at Risk' digital app project.

Event Details: You will be introduced to the B@R app, developed by our colleagues at the West Midlands Historic Buildings Trust with support from Historic England, 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.

Each meeting will have two parts: 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.

We look forward to seeing you there!

If you are unable to attend our event on Thursday 29th January, you can attend our second session on Saturday 7th February, 10am-12pm at Morley Retreat.

You can contact the team at volunteers@derbyshirehistoricbuildingstrust.org.uk for more information.

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.
