Now that you've become more comfortable with the Trygve app, the next step is involving
more people in your neighbourhood.
It's so easy to do.
Our experience is, that when you know how to use Trygve, and why, you will really benefit
when using it alongside your family and closest neighbours.
If your neighbourhood is active, it should create an environment where any one of you
can reach out for help, should you ever find yourself in trouble.
That is a powerful and reassuring feeling for everyone.
The effect of Trygve is truly astonishing when many people from your area are involved.
Even those you haven't met in person before!
An example of this is when there has been a burglary, and a Trygve user posts a public
event alerting everyone in the area to keep watch and lock valuables away.
Neighbours who may not know each other are brought together through helping each other
and working together.
To get more people in your community involved in Trygve, start with identifying what groups
are in your area.
Take a look in the app and join a group if you think you or the group can benefit from
your involvement.
Most neighbourhood groups in Trygve encourage local residents to join, so be sure to do
so and let your fellow neighbours know about the group as well.
If there isn't a group for your area, you can create it and then invite your neighbours.
Keep in mind that even smaller groups can be a powerful force in Trygve, particularly
if you already know each other or share a common interest.
For example...
Family members, parent clubs or friendship circles can become a private group.
This group can be used to receive Personal Safety Alarm triggers if anyone is walking
home alone or feeling vulnerable.
Apartment block residents or neighbourhood communities can help prevent burglaries, antisocial
behaviour or vandalism, by alerting each other of any suspicious activity in the area.
If there has been crime in the area, neighbours can come together and form community patrol
groups to help create an unattractive environment for criminals to return to.
In cases that involve youth crime, it's very easy and sometimes more effective for a group
of parents to gather and create a positive adult presence.
Together, communities can assist with finding a vulnerable person who has gone missing.
Cycling groups or boating clubs can alert each other when equipment has been lost, stolen
or damaged, or if the conditions have changed.
Once the uptake begins to grow in your community, it's a good idea to get in touch with other
local organisations who could benefit from being involved in Trygve.
These can be local churches, schools, local police, the council or neighbourhood watch.
Invite them to be a part of Trygve and a part of a new and proven approach to community
engagement.
Imagine how supportive and secure your neighbourhood would be if all these important resources
were communicating together in the one digital environment.
We have created some material to help you spread the word to these organisations or
to your fellow neighbours.
These can all be found on our Resource page on our website.
They include: Flyers for letterboxes and noticeboards, presentations for your next town meeting,
text that can be used for social media, logos for newsletters or websites, a simple explanation
outlining the differences between Trygve and other social media platforms and more!
In the physical world, when good people and organisations come together, they collaborate
to find solutions to important issues.
Trygve recreates this successful method in the digital world, by encouraging residents
and local organisations to work together using the one platform - a platform created to benefit
the community.
The magic of working together is really evident when neighbours are active in Trygve.
So don't forget to share information, talk to each other and spread the word!
