One Directory To Rule Them All!
We've come into a good couple links to some really good directories lately for all sorts of mental health, voluntary services and more! Come have a looksie and see if any of this can help you!
We've shared one before, a Padlet. A hyper-accessible, easy to read and very effective way to create local Wigan and Leigh based directories. There's all sorts we've come into lately, so we're using this article to send you off to all these useful little smidgens in the hopes it can be some help to you! Keep this article bookmarked, we plan to update it as we get new info and not just with Padlets. It's our directory directory. Hey, maybe this would be better as a Padlet?
So, find below, our One Directory To Rule Them All:
The Wigan Council Our Town Directory
Ideal for just about everyone, this directory is for any local group. Join it, upload an event or service and people can come find it here. Or, just come find one yourself! Invaluable for any organisation or if you're bored.
Community Health Building Padlet
This one is much more about updates, updates updates. Interested in CHB? The latest info should be here. That, and a few inquiries about local services. Ideal if you're looking for local information and opportunities, or if you have info to give! Thanks 'Lissa!

The Community Workspaces Directory
