Welcome to Grow Remote on ChangeX! We're building a national movement to connect remote workers in Ireland. We believe we’re in the middle of a seismic change in ways of working that opens up a whole new opportunity for a better quality of life, for remote workers and for rural Ireland. We'll help you do this in your local community by starting a Grow Remote Chapter.

Interesting read ....
Welcome on board to our new members !
Thanks to everyone for spreading the word. Appreciate if you can continue to do so before our next Zoom call in February.
Separately we are working on hosting an event in the town similar to those happening in other towns around the country.
For example tomorrow’s kick off is for the Ennis region in Clarecastle. Next month we have one in Dublin hosted at the Dogpatch premises.
Please check in on these pages for updates of the network.
If you have any questions, feel free to post them to this board or message me directly.
Thanks for reading !
Update 10th Jan 2019
Thanks for joining the call today !
The more awareness we have about the world of remote work, the more we can spread the word and help make a change in our community! Just one or two people working from home and not having to commute, can start the snowball in the area and lead to more money staying in the local economy, savings from commuting costs and greater access to talent. This is the start of the journey for our area. At this time it would be incredibly helpful if you can please spread the word to anyone who is working remotely to join the chapter.
Here is the link you can send to your contacts who wish to join the Remote Work Community.

Remote jobs are posted on many sites, take a look at a few here:

Today we are offering meet ups and support for remote workers, we are actively looking at how we can bring on-board a co-location work space in Ballinasloe, where remote workers can log in and work from, meet others to share ideas and network. The vision is that we could also have a number of employees from a particular company, located together in a mini-hub, and remote workers who are travelling from locations or who need access to office space, broadband etc.
We will do a follow up meeting in 4 weeks time and we will gear up for a Town Event later in the year.
In the meantime, if you have any questions, please get in touch over this platform, send me a text 087-9685455 or an email [email protected].

Happy New Year Everyone ! Hope you all had a good holiday. For our first meeting we will actually do a video call instead to get into the swing of remote work ! The app we will use is Zoom. You can log in from your phone or from your laptop. This will make it easier for us all to connect. Watch out for the invitation. If you have any problem with using Zoom let me know. It will be easy enough just to click on the link ! I will forward it later. Thanks all, Renate
