[Jo] Thank you everyone for keeping time. And sorry I had to cut a couple of people short, but I want to do is just really get to these questions that everybody's asking. So we had quite a few questions being lodged as those conversations happen. So I'm just gonna go through some of those now, and give the panel an opportunity to respond. There's some very practical stuff. So Cracking Good Food. Can people volunteer with you? [Gemma, Cracking Good Food] Yes, absolutely. If they send an email to myself, I popped my email address in the chat before, and it's also on the slides. We have volunteer opportunities at all of our activities for a whole range of different skills, and we love, we're very, very, very appreciative of our volunteers, and we have a good time too. [Jo] We had a lot of love on the side bar as well, saying that some people have been on your courses and things and enjoyed very much the activities. [Dave, Cracking Good Food] There's also, Jo, there's a form on our website as well for volunteers, so you can go there and fill in the details and that will go straight through. [Jo] Thanks, Dave. That's brilliant. Thank you. Right - happy days. So Wes, one for you. When you recycle IT equipment, do you sell them on or do you donate them? Or is it a mixture? [Wesley, Community Computers] Well we have a bit of a mixture. So we've donated some of the equipment to community groups who are needing to get online with computers. And that's something. Mostly it's low cost items. So we're taking these items, which typically would cost as I said around £250 to £300 and we're selling them for £99. Obviously they come with a warranty, and also some support as well. The actual PCs are £69. So again, very, very good value. And those are fully tested, warranted, and fully licenced as well, with the proper refurbishment licence from Microsoft. [Jo] Wonderful. Thanks Wes. I think that answered that question. Also, if businesses want to donate old computers, can they do that to Community Computers? [Wesley, Community Computers] Yes, they can. Obviously, we want computers that are reusable primarily, we do have sometimes have equipment that's given to us, which is very old, and then we recycle that by dismantling it. Again, it's another service that we're operating. But for Community Computers, we want PCs that are still usable. So any of the Intel i3s, i5s, i7 processers, we would be interested in those,. If there are businesses who have really old equipment and they need us to dispose of it we can talk to them about that because we have services that do that as well. [Jo] Wonderful. Thank you. I think this is one just generally for the panel. There's a lot of people probably sitting on this call that have got great ideas around making a difference in their communities and are probably really inspired to hear that you've created these wonderful organisations that are doing great things in communities. What's been the biggest barrier to get in your work going, and is there anything there or is there any top tips as to how to get these things off the ground? Don't know who wants to start? [Wesley, Community Computers] I think, for Community Computers just briefly, I think our major issue is ensuring or telling businesses, communicating with businesses and organisations that we can handle their data safely. And we put a lot of emphasis on that. And Stockport Council, Stockport Homes donate their equipment to us, and they're satisfied with our procedures. So that's our big issue really. [Jo] Thank you. Gemma, do you have enough voice there to answer? [Gemma, Cracking Good Food] Yeah, I was gonna say [audio cuts out] we're running projects that involve intercepted food waste. So, ingredients that are safe and good to eat but might be past their Best Before date and distributed via Fair Share is that what we're hearing from some of the communities we've been supporting is that there is stigma attached to that. So for us, one challenge is looking at how we're going to break down that stigma and continue to challenge food waste at the same time. [Jo] Interesting. So I think Plastic Shed have had to go. Is there anybody? Sorry. Did somebody try to talk then? No. Just in terms of getting people behind climate action, is there anything that you think, any tips around getting people involved in this agenda? Is it an easy sell these days or what do you think? [Dave, Cracking Good Food] If you answer to say in terms of food, food is something that everybody eats everyday and I haven't quite got the reference for the statistic, but food and food production and everything to do with food has the same carbon footprint in Greater Manchester as vehicle use, so it's a big element. I think it's a good way for children. perhaps, in schools to learn about climate change and impact of diet and food production. So I certainly think it's, for us, it's very relevant, a very relevant topic. [Wesley, Community Computers] I think one of the things we're noticing within the whole of Renewal North West, Community Computers, which is all about reuse, is there's actually a movement afoot for more and more people to buy with values, particularly amongst young people, amongst millennials, who are now preferring to buy second hand than buy new because they want to help the environment. And that's really, really encouraging. And I think that overall the growth of that over the next five years, I believe, will be massive. It's seen by the fact that organisations and shops like IKEA are actually buying back secondhand furniture to resell because there's a market out there that want to buy with value, and that's really, really good. That's really encouraging. So, please, before you throw anything away, just think 'someone else can probably use this'. Whether it's a computer, laptop, piece of furniture, clothing, whatever it is. Someone else actually could use that. And I think if we all get that mindset that will make a massive difference. Thanks, Wes. Yeah, I mean, that came out very strongly, didn't it? When we heard from the young people before, I was in a breakout with the grown-ups or adults, and I was seeing the chat that was coming through, and a lot of it was around growing food and reusing stuff and there definitely is a behaviour change, definitely for that age group, I believe. Which is really, really encouraging, isn't it? It's great that we have had them part of the event today. So any future plans for the people on the call that have been involved who have presented? Anything that's coming down the line for you that you are getting involved in? [Andrew, Energyworks] Onwards and upwards? Well we are looking to work out of a community hub in Brinnington in the coming months, in the new year. Hopefully. There'll be one of our team working out of... I can't remember what it's called. It's on the main street. We're working in partnership with the Big Local there, and we should hopefully have a green doctor and somebody offering support, working directly out of that hub, a couple of days a month to begin with. And then we'll see how it goes to offer support. And then looking at maybe, hopefully, if we can find spots around Stockport, going to expand that and see where we can be so we've got the presence within the community. It's easier for people to engage with us. [Jo] That's fantastic Andrew, that is really good news. And, yeah, that'll reap massive rewards, a great community there. And it's got a great community hub in Brinnigton as well. So you'll be in good company there. Also it's all about the kind of services you link into there because you've got people walking up there to go to see the Citizens Advice Bureau, the Credit Union, and you've got a number of people who are in real poverty, and you can really help practically around reducing the fuel poverty, which is brilliant. So I am going to wrap this session up unless anyone's got any final comments? But I just really want to thank everyone that spoke today, and being part of it and just been super inspiring.
