Apologies for delay but there's been a lot of researching going on and I've come to the unfortunate conclusion that given issues around vulnerable persons, legalities, vetting, establishing a charity, training, etc. This project is currently beyond the scope of my capabilities.

PS.
Just to clarify, I do hope to have the necessary resources to pick this up again in future so keep an eye out here at on my personal account @BALovric.
In the meantime, please do not use the 'Legacy Project' name in any work you may do on your own!

Quick update: we're in the process of researching best practices and organizing. This may take a bit of time so please keep an eye out for updates!

[The Legacy Project @TheLegacyProje2]

Over the coming weeks, we'll be building a website with a list of resources, guides and an editorial and submission process.

Thanks to everyone for their interest and support! If you would like to get involved in organizing this project, please DM the page.

@HAustinEditor Coming up with policies and procedures.

[The Legacy Project @TheLegacyProje2]

Writers are you interested in volunteering to engage with the elderly and document their stories? At the end of our days, our histories and legacies are what we leave behind.
There are beautiful and moving stories being lost every day.
Let's do this.

[The Legacy Project @TheLegacyProje2]

We're currently in fact finding mode. If anyone has direct experience or would like to be part of editorial committee, please DM.

[The Legacy Project @TheLegacyProje2]

If you're interested, please reply here. Have set up group chat. I can't add some of you to it for some reason but will contact you directly.

Who would be interested in acting on an editorial committee to explore the viability of an organized, international @TheLegacyProje2 ? This would entail brainstorming, research and legalities.

[The Legacy Project @TheLegacyProje2]

Will be setting up an initial group chat later today. Anyone else interested?

Delighted to see all the interest in this project.
I have had a chat with a local volunteer organization who has given me a lot of helpful information. Have a few more phone calls to make this afternoon but will update soon.

[The Legacy Project @TheLegacyProje2]

Just a note that this would be on a voluntary basis for the project as there is no money or budget.

Anybody have website making skills? Even if just on WordPress?
