Zafar C (Sahara In Preston)
We approached AMPM for an informational website for our organisation, Sahara in Preston which is based in Preston. After several consultations AMPM were instructed to design and develope our website and also provide training for our staff.
AMPM provided a complete solution within 3 months and we now have a very good website and an online presence. Our staff have been trained to maintain its update.

Tony (Preston Community Network)
We contacted am:pm as our current website was quite dated and the current web designers supplier were not interested in its redesign. After being recommended am:pm by another organisation it was refreshing to find a local company that was so thoughtful and helpful. They consulted us throughout the entire design & development of the new website and provided training. We now have a prominent online presence and a growing user base.
Preston Community Network: Website Solution
Preston Community Network is an umbrella organisation which represents and assists a wide range of voluntary, community and faith groups which operate within the city of Preston.
PCN is a registered charity and after being formed back in 2002, proved successful in uniting voluntary groups, playing vital part in setting up a range of bodies such as the Health and Wellbeing Forum and the Children’s Trust Forum.
New Lottery funding was secured early in 2021 and after a period when for various reasons, many of which were pandemic related, the organisation was largely dormant, PCN came back into action in September, 2021.
A host of new members have since been recruited, and a very successful relaunch event took place in November 2021 in the lovely setting of St Cuthbert’s Church Hall on Lytham Road, Fulwood.
So, what ways can PCN help its members and the community in Preston?
Probably the most important is as a central point of support for our members.
If you have set up a small community group, perhaps even a single-issue group dedicated to saving and maintaining a small playground, a church hall or a facility such as a football pitch or swimming pool well used by the community, the next step can be a daunting prospect.

Colette Isaaks (OPAAL UK)
We were recommended AMPM by Preston Community Network. After initial consultations with Amir, who proved very helpful, knowledgeable and patient, we decided to award the redesign and redevelopment of our new website. We already had a website but there were issues with the web developers, mainly very expensive upgrades and complicated amendments.
Amir also helped us re acquire our domain after a long process of communication with various companies. The company is always available whenever we need any advice.
OPAAL UK: Website Solution
A very warm welcome to OPAAL UK where we work to ensure that all older people can speak up about their rights, needs and wants. Our overall aim is that everyone, irrespective of their circumstances, can enjoy a rewarding, safe and fulfilling life in their later years.
This charity exists to promote and develop independent advocacy services for older people, and those who support them – in whatever way they engage with older people. We encourage everyone, ranging from older individuals and their family and friends to professionals dealing with older people, to learn about the power of independent advocacy, so that the benefits for older people of living in a way that makes them happy, safe and fulfilled are delivered in their own networks and communities.
We are a membership organisation, and we are proud to champion the fantastic work undertaken by those working towards ensuring older people’s needs, wants and rights are protected and promoted. Our role includes campaigning on behalf of our members, supporting them with resources, building partnerships and sharing good practice in our community.
OPAAL is a national infrastructure organisation and we work to establish standards and quality frameworks which can be adopted by new and existing service providers to deliver improved independent advocacy for all older people, particularly those most vulnerable. We are also working very hard to influence the provision of independent advocacy for older people.
Whilst we do not provide advocacy services to those requesting assistance directly, we can provide a number of free resources to enable individuals and supporters to work through some of the pressing issues older people face in our society, in a FREE simple and easily accessible manner. And we are delighted to signpost individuals to organisations that can provide advocacy services, should that be required.
Please browse the website and let us know if there is any material that you feel needs to be included on the site; we would love to hear how we could help you!
Harry (Manager at Manzil)
Our restaurant was unusually quiet on Mondays and Tuesdays. We approached am:pm and they suggested a particular Facebook strategy. With several months our Facebook page began to attract a lot of attention and we started to get as many as 100 to 120 people on Mondays and Tuesdays; up from 10 – 12 people.
Manzil Restaurant and Banqueting Hall – Social Media Solution:
The issue Manzil were facing was that although their banqueting hall was performing well because of word of mouth connections, they were really struggling to get in customers to their restaurant, in particular on Monday and Tuesday nights. They approached us after attempting a social media campaign themselves. After a year they had only a handful of Facebook ‘Likes’ from just just a few erratic posts.
After a consultation process we set about organising a social media campaign with strong emphasis on a Facebook presence. Within months they started getting regular Facebook ‘Likes’, interactions with their customers and more importantly booking inquiries.
They now have a connections base of nearly 4,000 (this rivals and beats the Facebook presence of some of the much longer established local restaurants / banqueting halls) but more importantly the have a regular flow of customers coming to dine on Mondays and Tuesdays.
On average any post that we publish will get in excess of a 1000 views and a lot of interaction, some far exceeding this number.
This obviously has had a knock on effect which has provided the management confidence to look at other aspects of social media.
