There’s a living library of local knowledge on the internet - if you can find it. I’m building a public “library catalogue” to bring sense and searchability to it all. “Newham for Newbies” will be a permanent signpost on the digital landscape.

This will be a practical resource, rooted in neighbourhood life and community interest. There’ll be “free stuff guides”, “how-to guides”, and all things helpful, including how to set up a spin-off site to cover the bits I don’t do.

You're looking at the start page & sitemap now. (start.newham.digital)

The main site will be at: explore.newham.digital - bookmark that.

Coming Up

Dec 2023

It's all about Christmas lists! Markets, community events, charity appeals, that sort of list.

First up: the well-loved Newham Christmas Toy Appeal is back. Spread the happiness. (Organiser: Ambition Aspire Achieve.)

If you're in Forest Gate, "Advent Calendar Windows" are opening around Earlham Grove. A different house each day - explore and you'll find them. Watch out for the lights as evening falls.
