Ask humbly for help people love helping if you 're a bit lost

This campaign tip (no. 108) was published on Thursday, 18th April 2019
But don't be naughty and overdo it; if you suggest you need help in doing your basic job, you'll raise questions as to why you have that job in the first place - you may come across as a passenger in a role there's no space for passengers.

And if you're asking for help, make it easy for people to help, and make them feel safe and know they'll be appreciated for doing so.

These pages are written by Graham Ellis of Melksham, Wiltshire. Overlapping a life in IT and IT training, with running a hotel and campaigning for improved public transport, Graham has never been quiet - though he's starting to wind down gently now. He no longer takes overnight guests and has stepped doen from the "Community Rail Officer" role which he accidentally aquired. So he now has more time to write pages such as these and to travel in the UK. He'll be delighted to speak with your group or take a look through your case or camapaign, but be alerted that his time is not limitless even now, and he still has to keep the wolf from the door.

What a difference a campaign makes!

It probably wouldn't have happened without a strong community campaign with which I have been involved. Most days through 2019 I'll be sharing a thought, an idea, a way of working or an experience. Come back here for the links. Discussions via the Coffee Shop Forum - Graham Ellis, 31st December 2018
