The Blackwood Foundation is interested in participating but we need to know what people want.

What is missing at the moment?  What would help you keep connected?

Information on this project is below.  If you have anty ideas or comments please share them with us.

Do you see the opportunity of an older consumer market? Are you in the business of connecting people?
