Meeting Nathan Pitman, founder of Nine Four, was a breath of fresh air. I had finally met someone who understood and loved web communities – and knew how to build the underlying structure that will allow our community to flourish. Nathan also worked closely with the guys at Spoken Image on the look and feel of the website. The design of our site and the underlying content management system has been a fantastic journey, one which you cannot appreciate unless you’ve been there. This will be a long and continuing journey and I look forward to many adventures with Nathan and his new colleague Paul Cripps.
uchooseit is a community based, peer led organisation developed to meet the needs of people with substance misuse issues. uchooseit works with individuals to help them identify the full range of services they need to support their recovery journey, make informed decisions on the options available to them and to gain the confidence to express their needs and to work towards meeting them
uchooseit is delivered by individuals who have personal experience of substance misuse who have themselves overcome some of the practical barriers faced by people with drug and alcohol problems. We believe that being able to access people in recovery can be extremely motivating for those considering change for themselves. as a result uchooseit provides volunteering and training opportunities for recovering individuals.
The uchooseit team will be working closely with Wired In to encourage more people to share their experiences of addiction and recovery.
Spoken Image is a specialist creative communication design company based in Manchester, led by Geoff Allman. They designed our logo and brand identity, and a look and style that can be used for all Wired In resources. Mark Laycock developed an excellent CD-ROM teaser for us containing written and film material focusing on a variety of issues related to recovery from addiction, as well as to Wired In. It was so much fun working with Mark and Geoff on this, and we learnt a lot. We’ve also become good friends.
