Big thanks to Awards for All for a (very very) small grant that helped us to help many first timers get their first ever web presence, and receive one to one training in the dark arts. That 3 month project ended in more than a decade ago. That was the last time and only time this project got any grant funding. Free Support was just that. Unpaid.

Basically too few used it to justify maintaining the complicated software, most people emailed their questions.
If you are a community group or organisation, or an individual with a community project or community spirited idea, we can still provide practical advice in setting up your website on OurLocality.org.
To get you started we'll give you a free taster of what is possible. A free migration may be included under certain conditions.
