Listening to Your Feedback
aDoddle started because of a need for some of the most vulnerable within our communities to be able to find help and support easily – however the more our team spoke to people from all walks of life the more we realised that community mapping done it the right way could benefit everyone, help empower people and support the growth of more resilient communities.
Ability to Embed Maps
An ‘aDoddle’ map can be embeded in any website, geo-located to an area and even focussed on specific niches – making it an ideal ‘add-on’ for any organisation – Local – Regional – National.
Constantly Evolving
Community Mapping is a bit like the Christmas advert that the RSPCA uses where they say ‘A puppy is for life – not just for Christmas’. We believe that Community Mapping is not just for Covid-19, a storm, a flood, etc. It is for every day and every community.
