The UK government’s official website, Number 10, included Help From Home within its volunteering sections. There are only four other organisations featured on the web page and they are all the ‘main players’ of the UK volunteering world, so we’re quite chuffed to be included amongst them. The UK government in its Big Society vision wants to promote more flexible volunteering and we’re quite honoured that it seems that they’ve chosen Help From Home to represent part of that vision.
We’re in the middle of transferring our current website over to a new fresher design that also provides a facility to record a person’s participation in an action within a profile they can set up. We envisage a launch date of the 1st October 2011 or there abouts for this new look, which is being hosted on the ubiquitous Wordpress platform. Watch this space!
Oasis Academy Shirley Park, an educational establishment in London, UK approached Help From Home with a view to including microvolunteering as part of the school’s activities next school term in September. If all goes well, this might spread to the other educational establishments dotted around the UK under the Oasis Academy umbrella. Fingers crossed
Till next time.
