Leven River Parks Community Engagement Development Plan:

Say Hello to Ice Cream Architecture on 15th May and keep up to date

Below is a note from Ice Cream Architecture that explains what they will be doing over the coming months in Levenmouth and surrounding localities.

The River Parks Project is working to create an accessible, attractive, and biodiverse public park and active travel network for the local communities of Levenmouth.  It is part of the wider Leven Programme of connected projects, to deliver environmental improvements for the river and the surrounding areas, making them great places to live, work and visit.  Click here for more information about the Leven Programme

Ice Cream Architecture (ICA) is creating a Community Engagement Plan, which will be co-produced with the local community and ensure that key decisions are informed by the people who will use the Leven River Parks.  As part of this, ICA will be facilitating a number of events and feedback sessions in the coming months, and they want to hear your thoughts.

Please leave your information here if you wish to hear more about opportunities and events happening to inform the Leven River Parks Community Engagement Plan.

Tipping a kettle may be easy for the able but for the elderly or disabled this might be difficult.  To help, there are kettle holders that tip or much safer kettles that tip or static water heaters.

More often than not, when it’s Sunday night after church is done, I usually catch up on some much-needed sleep!  It helps to build my ideas.   Shortly, I will produce a guide to help others maximise their return on their website investment.

What We Do

LibriVox volunteers record chapters of books in the public domain, and then we release the audio files back onto the net for free. All our audio is in the public domain, so you may use it for whatever purpose you wish. Please note: Our readers are free to choose the books they wish to record. LibriVox sees itself as a library of audiobooks. Because the books we read are in the public domain, our readers and listeners should be aware that many of them are very old, and may contain language or express notions that are antiquated at best, offending at worst.

Volunteering for LibriVox is easy and does not require any experience with recording or audio engineering or acting or public speaking. All you need is a computer, a microphone, some free recording software, and your own voice. We accept all volunteers in all languages, with all kinds of accents. You’re welcome to volunteer to read any language you speak, as long as you can make yourself understood in it. You don’t need to audition, but we do suggest a 1-Minute Test recording just to check your setup. We’ll accept you no matter what you sound like.

We operate almost exclusively through Internet communications on our forum, where all your questions will be answered by our friendly community.

For more detailed information, see our FAQ.

We’d like your help. Click to learn about volunteering for LibriVox.

Resources and Partners

We get most of our texts from Project Gutenberg, and the Internet Archive hosts our audio files (for free!).

In early 2010 we ran a fund-raising drive to raise $20,000 for our expenses for the next few years. In July 2013 we launched a new fund-raising drive with the goal of raising $50,000 for short and long term expenses. If you would like to help, please visit our Donate Page.
