Latest developments

It’s been a busy few weeks since my last entry…

We have been working on developing the Heritage at Risk website (www.lincshar.org), its going to include lots of new features such as a young persons’ page displaying photos and video clips from their events and examples of their work. It’ll also include some features that will help to make using the website and uploading surveys even easier. Look out for changes over the coming weeks!

Our Feedback Co-ordinator has begun carrying out feedback sessions around the county, kicking things off in Stamford. We look forward to receiving the results of these to find out how our volunteers have been getting on, what has worked well and what can be improved. The feedback will help us to improve the project as it progresses, which is especially important given that this is a national pilot project.

The volunteer social event last week was a success. We had a very interesting and in-depth tour of Doddington Hall, followed by tea and scones in the newly opened coach house. It was lovely to chat with our volunteers and also to meet some of our new recruits who I had only ever communicated with on the phone or via email. 

More photos from the event can be seen on our Facebook page at:http://is.gd/nSAqld

Hopefully we will have another social event towards the end of the year as it’s a great chance for our volunteers to get together and meet each other, as well as an opportunity for us to thank them for their dedication and commitment to the project.
