Join the founder of aDoddle.org, the UK’s first growing network of connected area-based, or niche based, community maps – ‘Out of The Box’, to explore the many ways in which community mapping can help to not only reduce this but also empower people and support the growth of more resilient communities by ‘joining the dots’.
Across the UK there are over 150k charities and even more community groups & projects that provide critical support & opportunities to connect with others. Yet, believe it or not, too often it’s easier to find a restaurant on Google Maps, as there is no central hub that brings this information together. Meaning that information is dis-jointed, incomplete and often out date.
aDoddle.org Community Mapping is about connecting people and communities with the support, opportunities and awareness of resources available to them within their local area. Working together to build more resilient communities.
There will be time for a Q&A at the end.
Other Information: Research from the Centre for Economics and Business Research (Cebr), commissioned by Eden Project initiative The Big Lunch and funded by the Big Lottery, showed that: Disconnected communities could be costing society £32 billion a year. It also revealed the annual cost to public services of social isolation and disconnected communities, including:
Demand on health services: £5.2 billion (equal to the cost of building 70 new Specialist Emergency Care hospitals )
Demand on policing: £205 million (equal to the median yearly salary of 6584 police officers)
Disconnected communities are also linked to a loss of productivity, with a net cost to the economy of nearly £12 billion every year.

A ‘Timely’ talk for every community across the UK.
When people within communities are unable to find and easily access the support, resources, opportunities, places to connect with others – for example Foodbanks or ‘Warm Spaces – Welcome Places’, that exist within their local area, then they will be calling on already stretched services, face isolation – which can increase negative impact on mental health, and more.

With time for a Q&A at the end
In 2016 the Centre for Economics and Business Research (Cebr) produced a report for Eden Project Communities which showed that: Disconnected communities could be costing society £32 billion a year.
Across the UK there are over 150k charities and even more community groups & projects that provide critical support & opportunities to connect with others. Yet, believe it or not, too often it’s easier to find a restaurant on Google Maps, as there is no central hub that brings this information together.

Join our Founder, Jaki King, to hear how finding a restaurant on Google Maps led to the development of the UK’s first network of connected community maps.
Discover:
How listening to projects that failed at mapping provided some of the greatest lessons.
How the voices of those in crisis helped to create the key foundational elements for the mapping platform.
How hearing the struggles faced by organisations of all sizes within communities led to the connectivity of the maps and flexibility of their use.
How the pandemic made us reflect and rebuild from the ground up.
How this can be used in your community for the benefit of everyone, from those in crisis or who want to volunteer, to local organisations who struggle to be found or key decision makers.
With time for a Q&A at the end.
Join our Founder and CEO, Jaki King, for her talk during Digital Leaders Week 2021
We live in a digital world where we can find everything we need at the touch of a button – or Do we?
The past 15 months have shown us how critical it is for people to be able to find help, where they can volunteer or how to connect with others in their community.
The news highlights things like; a potential Mental Health pandemic, the huge rise in unemployment and the effects of isolation to people and communities, to name a just few.
Across the UK there are over 150k charities and even more community groups & projects that provide critical support & opportunities to connect with others.

Join Jaki, founder of aDoddle.org, to discover how you can get involved, help to ‘join the dots’ & be part of the UK’s first network of connected area-based community maps. Together we are building a resource for use at a national, regional and local level. The maps have the ability to be ‘dropped’ into any website for niche based, community specific, or internal role support and so much more.
Community Mapping is about connecting people & communities with the support, opportunities & awareness of resources available to them within their local area.

Connecting Communities – One Click at a Time
On 26th March 2020 students from Bournemouth University held the online launch of the Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole Community Map.
The students produced the launch as part of their university coursework.
The BCP community map was the 4th area-based map to be launched and is part of a planned network of over 400 area maps that are linked to aDoddle.org.
Connected Community Maps are about building a resource that works for the benefit everyone. Bringing together information on local charities, community projects, groups and resources. Making it ‘aDoddle’ for everyone to find community based support, services, tools and resources that may help improve quality of life. Whether that is finding help at a time of crisis (or in time to avoid a crisis), give help through volunteering or locating places to connect with others.
Recorded – March 2021
Join us for this collaborative event between Starting Point and aDoddle to support the development and growth of the new community map for Woodley & Bredbury.
This is an opportunity to find out more about the map, how organisations can add their profiles (free), what the five key things are that people want to know, and more.
Start Point are encouraging organisations local to or active in Woodley & Bredbury to add their details and help residents find out what is going on in our community, including volunteering opportunities, support services and more.
