In January 2017, Lisa approached us to work on another project, which eventually became decommissioned. In December 2017, Lisa asked for us to work on the website for Healey Dell Heritage Centre, which she had purchased and now owned, which thankfully absorbed the work from the previous project.
I was approached by Tom to work on Parasol’s marketing material in July 2017. He had been instrumental in helping set up Europia and Open Culture Project, and he has been of great support to the European community during his work with Wai Yin Society.
Coming from a project at Wai Yin Society, the OneVoice Women’s Group aimed to be the first black and minority ethnic (BME) group of the British Women’s Institute. The project was run separately to Wai Yin Society and worked within the remit of the Institute.
I started working on the Work Capabilities Assessment (WCA) Action Group in 2013 to promote talks in Manchester at the time of the Conservative Party Conference. The aims of the talks were to promote the issues surrounding the Work Capabilities Assessment, an assessment taken by recipients of out-of-work benefits such as Employment Support Allowance or Disability Living Allowance, to see whether they were fit for work.
As a small local charity, Wai Yin managed all of its marketing and media in-house, which put a lot of stress and strain on its human resources. In addition to creating posters and flyers, the staff were required to post information on their website, which had not been updated for three years and was quite complicated to maintain.
