Social Impact : Formby Events Community Website
Social impact is the intentional, positive changes people make to create a better community and environment for everyone - all living things included. Social impact is essential. It’s important for us to participate in social impact, but defining it and giving it structure is also important. Never before have so many people, companies, and organisations been so aware of the impact they’re making - but never before have so many more people, companies, and organisations needed to change their practices and become even more socially conscious. Even small companies and sole traders - like web-aviso - can make a difference - and web-aviso have started with their community and home, Formby. We are both predominantly run on solar PV panels as a business for much of the year, but ours and many of our client's websites are Green Web Foundation hosted by Amazon EU too (including Formby Events) .
web-aviso in Formby
When we relocated our home and business from Colchester in East Anglia to Formby in the North West in August 2021 our primary aim was to connect with, and become active within, the community socially. It was specifically the church and parishioners that we sought to be our enabler - and they did not disappoint. You simply need to experience Liverpoool area hospitality Fortunately web-aviso has business skills that can be of benefit too, so it was a minor leap from social participation to including our services to compliment our efforts and support some much needed imput into the community post COVID .... and so Formby Events was created ... and is now maintained, developed and search engine optimised by us.
Formby Community and Formby Events ...
As we became more familiar with the Parish community it became apparent that there were many initiatives and groups that we could get involved with, and help make a positive impact within our Formby Parish - but you need to look before you leap. The closest thing to us was the Church, and as with many areas of the UK, Formby locally as well as the wider Archdiocese of Liverpool was undergoing some quite big changes - so by September 2022, our first foray into helping the Formby Parish was (with my wife and I) to put ourselves forward and organise the first traditional Christmas Fayre for the community in 18 years ! We had a mix of the traditional games and stalls, plus some local artisan's renting tables.
.... Yes fortunatley it was a sucess ! As part of this web-aviso collated local information, then designed and had physically printed the first Parish Directory too, listing parish groups and community events, this being to complement the similarly designed and printed Christmas Fayre flyer. We designed and printed variations on fliers and an outside banner was printed too. We will now run this annually - the date is set for the first weekend of Advent, or the last weekend in November (so do check Formby Events for details !)
Since with the historical event of the Coronation of His Majesty King Charles III in May 2023 - we co-ordinated not one - but three days - of different events, which enabled us to be even more inclusive for different sections of the community.
The past now remains history ... and the future a mystery - until we tell you more, but let's just say other plans are afoot ... For a sample of some related print work see : Print Design
