Let Slough know what you're doing
Slough Central Library has set up a community information database, and is asking all organisations, clubs, activity and interest groups to add their information for residents to see.
The new database is for groups and organisations in the Slough area and already gives residents access to more than 200 records to do with the town and activities going on in the borough.
Local services and voluntary groups are also invited to add their information.
The rapidly growing database is full of useful resource material and looks set to grow into the online directory for local culture, activities, interests and contacts for Slough.
Each record provides contact details and a description of the organisation and its aims. Photographs are also added with links to organisation websites, and an attachment.
Groups can even post the minutes of meetings or a promotional leaflet for all to see.
Jackie Menniss, library services manager for Slough Borough Council, said: “The library service has worked hard to find ways to help local communities link together and this great database will help people make contacts and get more from their local community.
“There is even a ‘What’s on’ section where local organisations can promote events”.
Cllr Julia Long, commissioner for leisure, cultural and community services, said: “This new database is an excellent way for the town’s residents to find out what is happening in Slough.
“It’s also a great way for organisations and clubs to let people know they are there and ask others to join in.”
The Slough Community Information Database is available at www.sloughcommunity.info.
