Enjoyed reading this about making your blog stand out from the crowd.
In October 2011, I registered the domain name ayearofreadingtheworld.com and started this blog. I didn’t know it then, but the website would change my life. The original quest to read a book from every country in the world in a year turned out to be mind-blowing in ways I’d never anticipated: it reconfigured my imagination, […]

An important role we play in supporting volunteers who provide a critical peer support, by digitally befriending individuals struggling with maintaining or using online processes, is to acknowledge there commitment and selflessness in creating a safe and secure space for all our beneficiaries to maximise their involvement of using technology and software applications that increase their social circles of support, create learning opportunities, access health & social care and secure financial support. This year we are currently reviewing how to single out an individual amongst so many who have equal worth in our organisation for this prestigious award. We will reveal our intentions in due course……..
This blog and subsequent blogs from Cherie raises important issues that go beyond the work place.

How I Triumphed Over Workplace Bullying and Mobbing – In The Beginning — Chateau Cherie
Matching volunteers to those who need support remotely has become a more challenged environment for some of our users and digital befrienders. Technology is central as well as having access to the right mix of accessibility features. Unfortunately, we don’t have the full suite we think it is necessary to maximize our interactions, but are constantly looking for donations/funding for a small group to realize it’s ambitions and aspirations. However, what we we lack in access or know-how is admirably mitigated by the passion of all involved in helping those on the digital periphery play a central role in managing their day-to-day digital needs, including increasing their social circles of support. The role of Online Chum is varied and spans different areas of interests that we hope we can ensure a good match between befrienders and beneficiaries. We are always looking for more volunteers to help us continue to serve our local neighborhoods and borough wide community.

Our digital world is rapidly changing, but for many who still seek a safe place, it is a challenge. Our project is a based on developing involvement of disabled people in learning new ways to get together by providing shared activities that are led by you with support from our trained volunteer Online Chum Mentors. We are a small community group working towards charitable registration relying entirely on donations and the good will of many of our local community who devote time to helping others make best use of the internet and technology.

We have access to a variety of formal and informal help to demystify accessing the internet, whether it is disability creating barriers to understanding or lack of awareness of those functions to help you manage your day-to-day tasks. Normally we provide face-to-face activities at our drop in centre (located in Shiremoor, North Tyneside), because we have a social mission that integrates instruction with community-based activities to ensure that digital processes are considered in relation to the real world life at neighbourhood level. The current national emergency has created challenges for many we exist to support in that they are unable to participate in our annual programme of activities. This is why we are able to extend help remotely using peer support as well as online help using our web platforms. Our public website is an ideal way to keep in touch as well as keeping up to date with what we are doing. There are many of course with no internet access because of digital poverty or because they don’t know where to start. To address these factors we work with local agencies to connect to those needing our help so that collaboration is key to reaching out to those socially and economically excluded. Whether you are aware yourself of someone who could do with some friendly support or you are very new to using digital processes you can get in touch via our public website: https://www.parkviewprojectne.com/ or you can get in touch with us at our shared space at North Tyneside Disability Forum, Earsdon Road, Shiremoor, NE27 0HJ Tel 0191 4661667.

Take bullying seriously because lives can be ruined. Cherie hits on some of the responses you may have had from those who are supposed to be wathing out for you.
As we all know, bullies are very practiced and convincing liars and have a flare for using charm to deceive bystanders and authority. Understand that this “charm” bullies often display is fake it is all a part of the smoke screen they put up to cover up bad behavior and avoid accountability. 333 more words
Excuses Bystanders and Authority Often Make for a Bully — Chateau Cherie
What was it like before Online Bullying! Read Cherie’s blog.
I’m fortunate enough to have grown up in a time when cyber bullying was unheard of. When I was in school, “Street Bullying” or “Playground Bullying” was the type of bullying targets of my generation endured. “Street Bullying” happens face to face. It happens on the playground, in the hallways, the bathrooms and locker rooms […]
