Blog For Us

After the success of our Scribble Pad competition earlier this year, which culminated with four designs being projected onto Battersea Power Station, we’ve decided to give you another chance to share your thoughts and feelings with a large audience; this time by blogging on our website.

The Scribble Pad projections were featured on BBC London and in London’s Evening Standard, and while we can’t promise those levels of fame to the winners, you will have the chance to share your thoughts and feelings with the audience of our website.

Full details are available here.

No, not a review of last night's Big Brother: Celebrity Hijack, but the way Ben, one of our volunteers, described working on the Get Connected helpline.

We thought you might like to learn a little bit more about some of the lovely people who volunteer their time to work on our helpline, so we’re going to interview one of our volunteers a month.

ALOL: “Why did you start volunteering?”
Ben: “I wanted to do something interesting, challenging and more worthwhile than my job.”

For the rest of the interview click here.

Sure, this newsletter’s great and all, but wouldn’t it be better if you could keep up-to-date with Get Connected from within a social networking site that you use all the time anyway? Well, of course it would.

So, with that in mind, and in addition to our Myspace page, we’ve launched a Get Connected page on Facebook, complete with information, discussions and photos of our dog wearing sunglasses*. If you’d like to have a look, please visit our page and become a friend.

* This bit isn’t true. Yet.
