Not sure if this has been mentioned before but it’s actually not the simplest process to select the most appropriate forum.
Anyway, given the unprecedented situation with Covid-19 and economies (and stock markets) facing negative pressures from every angle, I thought it might be a good idea to start a thread for those who wanted to find an avenue to contribute to their local community.

An obvious example might be English teachers wanting to offer free lessons to the underprivileged.
