I am trying to be as constructive as possible during this lockdown. Part of that involves our social media, and seeing how we can grow and get more known.
We are currently updating our website. Our terrific colleague, Kacper, who is up in Edinburgh finishing off his work for his third year University degree, and Lazza have been jointly chatting and adding pages. We are looking to get five new pages on by the end of next week. Our first went live today - but we have only added a little to it, so I will give more details in a couple of days.
Lazza has never really done website work, so this is a real challenge and learning experience for him, but he is well guided by Kacper. We also made a small adjustment to our main page, which people see when they type in the web address, so it mentions the Covid virus.
Funding is becoming more important. Despite our pleas, the venue we were using in March for the course we then had to cancel suddenly due to the Covid 19 virus guidelines about staying in, has refused to budge and is charging us for the use of the site. Yes, it is in their regulations that if we do not give 72 hours notice we have to still pay, but frankly I am very disappointed.
We have put our GoFundMe page on twitter, asking for retweets and share. We had one!!! I am quite despondent. We desperately need seed funding. Our feedback alone shows we deserve our chance. But how can we possibly do anything if no-one is prepared to risk five figure sums on us? I will continue to apply for money, but this is now a time where everyone is going for the funding, and the bigger companies are bound to win. It is quite unfair.
I am loving updating our health blog with relevant and appropriate entries. I try and make them simple and how I would like to read them if I came across them. Recently I looked at the Respiratory System and the Immune System. We are wanting to encourage, motivate and inspire as much as possible.
Finally, we are anxious to get our unique intervention online. So many videos and talks just copy each other. They do not try and be original. That is us. Again though, this will come through some small funding - not a huge amount is required. I hope we can achieve this.
