March 2011 Update

- Published a 'How To Develop A Microvolunteering Project' handbook. It's 40 pages big and getting alot of publicity. It explains what microvolunteering is and why you should set one up. It then moves on to developing the project, whilst also covering the all pervading smartphone app in terms of microvolunteering actions. Most usefully, 13 organisations have provided the trials and tribulations process they went through to set up their own project - priceless in terms of experiences to learn from.

- HFH is now an official RaceOnline 2012 member. This is a UK government led movement to encourage non-onliners to become onliners. HFH is using it's 'Care Services' project to encourage the older generation to get online.

- HFH wishes to expand it's reach within the voluntary sector and so has started to recruit volunteers, but as of this blog publication date, there are no takers yet wishing to change the world in just their pyjamas! Take a look at how you could help us out. Any offers anyone?

- HFH is wishing to start up a social enterprise business via microvolunteering. It's produced a wireframe template of a website that combines participation in micro-actions and social interactivity, whilst having the facility to provide quantifiable impact reports. The mechanics behind the website would allow it to be suitable for environments like businessess, schools, care homes, community orgs etc. If anybody is interested in expressing an interest in collaborating on such a project, just email HFH via our 'Contact Us' page.

Til next time.
