No charge or criteria, just a space for your local community information.

A job for everyone reading this, today if you can.

PAPYRUS went into administration on Monday and HOPELINE247 has stopped. If your organisation signposts to it, please edit that on your public facing information.

Check your noticeboards, your leaflets, your website, your induction packs and whatever your staff have saved in their phones. We looked this morning and found the old PAPYRUS numbers still published on live pages in over 50 places.

Six hundred booklets. Forty eight signs. Three borrowed gazebos. One village.

Tomorrow, Easton runs a free village wide fun day. It has taken three months, and this is what the day before it looks like: every sign for every site printed, laminated, labelled and laid out across a living room floor, and a stack of booklets that went through every door in the village this week.

A small grant funded paper and village hall hire but this has mostly been neighbours lending gazebos, buying ink, offering a driveway, saying yes to a table. A church, a pub, a golf centre, a food hall, a library on a post, a men's shed, a village hall. Seven sites, one day, all that we have organised is free.

This is the sort of thing The NLE Network exists to notice. Not the big funded programmes, but the ordinary, unglamorous, ten at night with a paper cut work that holds a place together.

We will write it up properly afterwards, mistakes included, because those are the useful bit.

Rediscover Easton. Bank Holiday Monday 31 August, 11am to 6:30pm.

Organised by the Easton Community Cupboard, a founding project of NCSUN CI
