1. Volunteering – have we put out a call, eg on websites like Creative Careers, Volunteering Ireland?

2. PR – put a press pack of sorts together – I said I would do this but I don’t think I can do it in enough time, I’m sorry. Get more media-sociable people on social media and try to get in touch with local/community papers, radio, well-read blogs, etc, and anyone that might give us a mention.

3. Content – I’m following up on things here with TOG, Upstart, and a few individuals who may be able to help out either providing or getting us in touch with people who will provide content.
