PlaceCal Handbook

PlaceCal is both a software tool and a partnership of community organisations, charities, social housing providers, government services, health providers, and citizens. You can see it in action on our website.

Our handbook is split into sections depending on your role in the PlaceCal project.

Partner Handbooks

Partners are the people who run community organisations on all scales from large national institutions with local offers, to unincorporated community groups running a coffee morning out their living room.

Partner Admins are the organisational workers who add and update their information on PlaceCal.

Organiser Handbook

Organisers are people who work with many different partners. They could be local community workers, health workers, or community organisers delivering PlaceCal on the ground.

Our Organiser Handbook takes you through the stages of delivering PlaceCal, from inception to maintenance.

Commissioner Handbook

Commissioners are the people who fund the PlaceCal platform. This might be city or health authority managers looking to help their staff work in a more networked way, or it could be a community group looking for a tool to bring their neighbourhood together.

The Commissioner handbook is for anyone considering commissioning or partnering with PlaceCal in their area. We look at how PlaceCal can fulfil your asset-mapping remit, and enable a transformational change in the relationships between organisations and institutions in your region.
