As the year came to an end, we finally heard the outcome of our application to the Unlimited funding programme - and we weren't successful. From the information we've had, it was oversubscribed and the funders would have needed three times the monies they had available to be able to support applicants, so on this occasion we just have to take it on the chin. As yet, it hasn't been announced who the successful applicants were, but we hope some support may have found it's way to Essex.

However, we've been invited to a meeting in January to look at other possibilities for taking the concept forward, so onwards & upwards! We're also working with Shape on an article about the Signpost pilot for the spring edition of 'Access by Design' (the magazine for the Centre for Accessible Environments), so with luck that will seed some interest with people and organisations who might not normally know about our work. We'll blog about that article in 2011 (so not long to wait). In the meantime, thank you to all the people who have given us such positive and useful feedback about the project; keep it coming
