Young Up Update!

Hello Young Up, 

I hope each and every one of you are well, and adapting to this new way of life as much as possible!

Sorry that you have not heard from us in a while - as you can imagine Covid-19 has changed our plans for Young Up for the next few months at least, so there hasn’t been an awful lot to update you on.

But, there is something that we could really use your help with…

We are trying to figure out how we can use our Commonplace platform to help the most vulnerable in the community at this time. We are offering Local Authorities the use of one of our Covid-19 sites for free, to help communicate important information to the community. Please have a look at the demo site here. And our blog post explaining this in more detail is here. 

Please let us know if you have any ideas on how this site could be better or more useful. Or how we could use other Commonplace sites to help local communities and vulnerable people. Any idea, however big or small, would be amazing.

Please email your ideas to hattie@commonplace.is , or drop them on the Young Up Whatsapp group.

Also - if any of you would be interested in a virtual Young Up session, let us know! We would be very happy to organise something over a group video chat, or maybe even a webinar. Let us know if this would be something that you would be keen to join.

That’s all from us for now. Stay safe and well!

The Young Up team
