The idea of this forum is to allow members of Harringay Online to offer skills or abilities they have to their neighbours and get something in return. It might be something as simple as the ability to walk a dog - pretty useful to a neighbour who may be ill. Or, it may be that you have some trade skills like carpentry or plumbing to offer or some professional capabilities as an accountant, lawyer or whatever.
The idea is that you swap skills - or give them freely. This forum is explicity NOT for people who want to run a small business or sell their services.

I'm a digital video specialist. I can convert pretty much any type of digital video into any other type. For example Quicktime to Windows Media video.
I do basic bike maintenance (brakes, gears etc.) If I don't think I can fix it safely I'll tell you.
I do a bit of dry-stone walling as a hobby. I'm not very experienced yet but I'm learning!
I also do a pretty mean job of retouching and repairing damaged photographs. Just a hobby.

Basic word processing (typing, layout etc) and editing.
Knitting (hats, scarves, children’s jumpers). A relatively new skill but improving every day and I’m always up for a challenge!
In terms of my day job, I work in survey research so can help with any elements of questionnaire design and the analysis and reporting of data.

I work in Urban Regeneration, community engagement, etc. Happy to help with grant proposals or any meeting if I have the time. also studying urban design and can give 10 pence worth to proposals. If you have any pressing concerns about "designing out crime" in a particular area of Wood Green, get in touch as I am still looking for a dissertation topic in the local area.
In a previous life, I worked in patent law and chemistry - not much demand for that skill now but I guess I developed good research skills out of it. If you need advice on an invention, I should be able to put you in the right direction.

I am also an irish dancer, no seriously (set and ceili) and always been meaning to join a troop in London. Perhaps I'm only putting this in for the random tag and the fact that Irish dancing gets such a bad rap ;o)
