LHS has been an incredibly useful resource for me, both in terms of the material facilities and also the membership, many of whom have become good friends over the years; I have learned a lot, continue to do so, and like to exercise my obligation to reinvest my knowledge and experience gained both here and outside, back into the space and the community. | LHS has been an incredibly useful resource for me, both in terms of the material facilities and also the membership, many of whom have become good friends over the years; I have learned a lot, continue to do so, and like to exercise my obligation to reinvest my knowledge and experience gained both here and outside, back into the space and the community. | ||
The smooth running and continuation of the London Hackspace has always, and will remain dear to me, and I look forward to continuing the adventure with the current challenge of a new premises for the new year. | The smooth running and continuation of the London Hackspace has always, and will remain dear to me, and I look forward to continuing the adventure with the current challenge of a new premises for the new year. | ||

A relative newcomer to LHS—although not to hackspaces—I seem to have thrown myself in at the deep end with its upkeep and organisation in the past six months. | |||
Professionally I'm a software engineer with a maths & CS background, with interest in science & engineering. Initially I joined to get my hands greasy with metal machining; that soon expanded to a fair bit of woodworking. I'm also a somewhat-lapsed electronics hobbyist; I don't shy away from the odd bit of knitting or crafting either. | |||
LHS is an amazing place, with our collection of otherwise-inaccessible resources. But the social aspects are equally important—it's always fascinating to see what other members are doing, helping whenever I can, while learning as much as I can. We have huge potential, and many enthusiastic members. As a trustee, I want to help focus that energy towards making a better space. Here's a sample of what I think we | |||
need: | |||
• A formal induction to, and on-going reinforcement of the hackspace ethos; • Better equipment maintenance, and no-blame breakage reporting; • Reinvigorate a sense of community with regular events and updates; • Expand our outreach, and give new members a more welcoming and less confusing experience; • A more general and accessible science lab for hobbyists and learners. | |||
We have clearly suffered in many aspects over the pandemic, along with the loss of our Wembley home. As we move to new premises, I look forward to continue supporting LHS, trustee or otherwise! | |||
