Local History Cafes are practising #PhysicalDistancing during this difficult time, not #SocialDistancing
We are finding new ways to keep our community connected, staying positive and supporting each other along the way. #communityspirit

2/2 to make pres-ns financially sustainable. That doesn't seem likely-donations are minimal. Everything for free isn't a model I support. If you've done a presentation for us, can you say why that £40 is important? I'd like to build a better picture for group members. Thank-you.

[Local History Cafe @LocalHistoryCaf]

1/2 Hi. Over in our Local History Cafe Online Facebook group we ask members for a £3 donation if they watch a presentation. That's the same amount we ask for at face-to-face cafes. Through funding we offer speakers £40, a fraction of what you are actually worth. Our aim was...

But 2020 wasn't quite done, of course. November & December would see Tier 3 & new lockdowns. But this time, we didn't have to stop. Work went on behind the scenes. We became a Digital Partner in @LocalHistoryCaf from @CraftingRel https://t.co/qDjgB5sOnc

Hi @MartinHISC how are you? Do you fancy a chat about Local History Cafe Online? I'd love to involve more older people's settings. Our model is based around agency, active ageing, lifelong learning and crafting relationships.
