Our ‘Buildings at Risk' team were back in action yesterday morning, holding a drop-in
B@R app support session at the Amber Valley CVS Centre in Ripley.
Heritage Development Officer, Anna Cluley, and newly appointed University of Derby intern, Miles McIntosh (Heritage Development Support Officer - pictured), welcomed a wide spectrum of people from within the local community and further afield in the county.
Anna and Miles had a busy morning meeting all the needs of their visitors! Existing
volunteers were treated to some 1:1 support and tips on how to get the most out of
the app, while new volunteers completed their ‘Buildings at Risk’ training and were
registered with the app. Potential volunteers were also introduced to the National Lottery Heritage Fund project, with an opportunity to have their questions answered by our knowledgeable team.
The morning proved a fantastic opportunity to meet volunteers and interested
members of the public and spread the word about our exciting new project. As well
as providing direct support, Anna and Miles both enjoyed the opportunity to share
their interest in historic buildings and local heritage with likeminded people. Many
areas of mutual interest (and a few mutual acquaintances within the world of
heritage!) came up in conversation.
