Background to project:

Neighbourhood Know-How website is a wiki which means you can add articles, links and stories to the website. It is hoped that this will create a practical and friendly online neighbourhood.
.

Purpose of project:

Neighbourhood Know-How allows people to find out more about issues that need addressing and learn how other people have addressed them.
.

Project activities:

Neighbourhood Know-How includes practical information about dealing with problems in your area and case studies from other areas. It helps people find out about the powers and regulation that affect life where they live.
.
There is a section on advice and support where people can get in touch with organisations that cover particular issues, learn about local groups, community projects and networks, or read about neighbourhood stories to learn how residents and community groups in neighbourhoods around the UK have come together to tackle problems and improve their quality of life.
.

Project results:

The website is new and still ongoing. It provides a lot of useful links to other organisations and brief summaries of issues.
