If you follow me on Twitter you may have read about this last week, but 1st July saw the launch of a website I’ve spent a few months working on: Helping Groups to Grow.

Helping Groups to Grow is a lottery-funded non-profit organisation that supports drug and alcohol misusers through group and one-to-one sessions across Carmarthenshire, Pembrokeshire, Ceredigion and Powys.

I’m particularly proud of this website because it’s not often I can say my work is contributing to a cause that is genuinely making a difference to people’s lives. The south of Wales has had an increasingly high-profile problem with teenage suicides in the last 24 months, so the Helping Groups to Grow cause is one that I feel passionately about and am proud to be associated with.

Credit must go to Fearghal of The Good Folk who managed the project and oversaw the creative design. I built the front-end of the site and developed the back end using ExpressionEngine. I documented my experiences with ExpressionEngine in a previous post.

I have a major overhaul of my website planned soon, and my seriously out-of-date portfolio will be getting a much needed kick up the bum. More details of Helping Groups to Grow, and all the other projects I’ve spent the last year working on, will be available soon.
