The aim is to establish sustainable self help groups around Bolton for its aging population using technologies that help them share skills, stay active and connected. A bit like Men in Sheds for rocket scientists.

To instigate this project the idea is to work on smaller projects first; to learn and build up from there.

The first idea is to create small cost effective automated agricultural growing systems for urban living and then gradually become more ambitious. An example would be to develop affordable robotic exoskeletons as mobility aids.

At the same time putting in place the infrastructure to finance, distribute and provide support.

Due to the current Covid-19 crisis this project will initially be conducted via a curated Facebook page: to be developed on an ongoing basis. And maybe this Blog (fixgrowmake4health.blogspot.com)

This project is in the first phase, and that is: To create the expertise and find resources.
Those interested are asked to advise and be patient while together we establish a more secure foundation from which to operate. Open sourcing of knowledge and designs will be the preferred and most realistic policy to pursue.

Nothing is easy! So is anybody up for the challenge?
