Our mission proposed to the Nominet Trust was simple: we want to enable anyone to create their own website without need of a safety net, instruction bible, or ‘internet guru’ (shudder). We are going to create a simple-to-use, affordable platform for charities and not-for-profits to create their own websites to amplify the good they deliver.This platform, came to be named Jam.Jam exists in two parts, the technology platform (the building part) and the content strategy (or what on earth do we put on our website part).

"In December, we finished the first (if you don't count the prototype) Nominet Trust Academy. A 16 week, one week on, one week off programme, for any Nominet Trust funded project to attend. The main purpose of the Academy was to create a learning environment that would build the capacity of participants’ projects to be scaled and/or sustained.

Last weekend was a big weekend for us. We put superheroes, techy developers, lay office types and a bunch of cool young people in a room and gave them the power to change the world through social action. Luckily for us, they knew how!
The venue: very generously donated by Forward Foundation, also came with the sharp mind of Sam, a developer there to make sure we keep a link to reality.
Getting your head around evaluation and social impact assessment (evaluation’s sexy stage name) can be a complicated process.
