Born in 1951, with a mobility disability, since childhood, I have amassed a huge textual and photographic survey of places of interest in the British isles. It is fully inclusive, catering for residents and tourists alike, the able-bodied and disabled or those on low income. A photograph saves 1000 words, and, by extensive use of photographs taken at each site, the survey shows any visitor exactly what to expect and see at each site, and whether it is suitable for their particular needs, and, if disabled, for their mobility, sensory and learning impairments. I am currently seeking funding/sponsorhip to make the whole survey available on the internet.
Since 1992, I have had ME without remission so have to cope with constant physical fatigue, low energy, and muscle pain. Because of this, I urgently need reliable, supportive volunteers for the following.
-Executive Assistant(s) to assist me with correspondence and co-ordinating other volunteers
-DIY Volunteer(s) to help with a wide range of maintenance tasks. (The charity’s building was built in 1938.)
-Volunteer Drivers (using their vehicle or mine) to enable me to keep the photographic survey updated (in trips both inside and outside of London)
-Computer volunteers
- to advise on hardware and software problems when they arise and select the best, inexpensive purchases. (I am keeping the charity going on a shoestring.)
- to assist on cataloguing and digitising the huge number of celluloid photographs.
If you feel that you can help in any way, please initially drop me a line – currently the survey is only open by prior appointment – to Mr McNiel, Founder, The Centaur Project, 313-315 Caledonian Rd., London N1 1DR.
The charity is on bus routes nos 17, 91, 259 and 274, and is 100 yds from Caledonian Rd Network Rail station (on the North London line) and 560 yds from the Tube station. It is outside the congestion charge area, and there is free parking on its private forecourt.
