Introducing...

You've heard from me, and you've heard from Sinead, you know that Dan exists, Jane and CJ are the other two members of our crew; but what do we do?

Dan is the Project Director. He founded RTC and is in overall control of how we operate. He dreamed up the idea behind Atching Tan, he applied for funding, he wrote the first series of the radio programme, he brought together the team. It's all down to him, really.

If there's a greater woman behind every great man, then CJ is the woman behind Dan. She's our Administrator. What this lady doesn't know about a spreadsheet isn't worth knowing. She ensures that we're in the right places at the right times, and that our bills are paid. Truly, without CJ, we'd fall apart.

Jane is the Project Co-ordinator and is the vital link between us and our partner organisations. Jane's role means that she gets to meet a lot of people. She meets potential volunteers who might want to get involved with Atching Tan, and she meets other groups with whom we might be able to work. Yes, Jane's a people-person.

Once volunteers are involved in the project, Sinead keeps in touch with them and supports them through their time with us. She's our Outreach Worker. It means that she spends a great deal of time haring around East Anglia. I'm exhausted just thinking about it.

Finally, there's me. I'm the Project Manager and I, ehm, manage the project. In reality, I do a lot of different things. I handle our press, PR, and communications activity, I'm heavily involved in the education strand (in another life I was a teacher), and I try to make sure that we all know what our targets and deadlines are, and that we meet them.

That's how the Atching Tan jigsaw fits together, but of course there are many other people who lend their time and skills to it. I'm sure you'll hear more about them, or even from them, as the project progresses.
