It’s not what you say, it’s what you do!

For TIM in York a moment of truth arrived at the weekend: Having launched TIM back in March (see my earlier post It’s all about TIM), and agreed to develop an interactive website which brought together community groups and activity across the City, we showcased it to old friends and new at Clements Hall, itself a home to numerous social enterprises.

We decided to run it as a World Cafe event, agreeing some questions at the outset which people could respond to. What we really wanted was ideas and offers of practical help – and we got plenty of the first, a few of the second. We signed up some new users to the TIM website which was well received. so over the first hurdle, but so now we need to see how well it serves those who said in March that they wanted to use it.

It’s going to be interesting to see how many step up to the plate and offer time and really get on and do stuff – coming up with ideas is pretty straightforward. Turning them into action is of course, less easily done. We’ll be charting progress over the next few months but you can find out more here www.timinyork.org.uk
