We are a remote-first company but that hasn’t stopped us from volunteering in the communities where we live. We want to thank the Happy Hope Factory for recently giving our senior leadership team, including our CEO Fran Soistman, the opportunity to pack 200 Happy Hope Bags filled with coloring card sets, pencils and fun comics to read. The foundation’s signature Happy Hope Bags are a boost of hope for children who are hospitalized or homeless, providing hours of activity and engagement that help take a child’s mind off their treatment. Thank you to all our eHealth volunteers who participated in this year's eHealth season of giving. Look for more highlights from our volunteer events in the days and weeks ahead. #volunteer #Happyhopefoundation #giving #hope #happyhopefactory

Do you have limited time, lack transportation, or have a physical disability that makes it difficult for you to volunteer in person? If so, virtual volunteering may be a great option for you. Many non-profit organizations are now utilizing the help of virtual volunteers, also known as “cyber-volunteers,” “digital volunteers,” or “e-volunteers.” These volunteers work remotely over the internet, using their computers, tablets, or phones to provide their skilled services to support a cause they are passionate about. In today’s busy society, where many of us have full-time jobs, families to care for, and little time for self-care, virtual volunteering makes it easier than ever to fit volunteer work into your schedule. Even if you have just a few hours to spare, you can make a difference and support a cause that is important to you. Consider virtual volunteering today and become a part of the growing movement of individuals who are making a difference in the world from the comfort of their own homes. #RKD #voluserve #Volunteers #Volunteering #Volunteerism #VolunteerService #VolunteerServe

Participation in volunteering is an excellent way for autistic people to contribute to the social and economic life of their community, to build their confidence and self-belief, and to thrive in life. Autistic people, through their diversity, can bring valuable and unique skills and experience to the volunteering sector. However, to make this experience positive, we need to firstly understand the barriers to volunteering that currently exist for autistic people and then work together to overcome these barriers. The benefits of a truly diverse volunteer organisation, that includes autistic volunteers, are immense for both the volunteer and the volunteer organisation. Empower Autism and Volunteering Queensland have developed practical tools, tips and information aimed at building the capacity of volunteer organisations to attract, engage, support and retain autistic volunteers. The guide takes you through three steps, each aiming to provide you with simple and practical tools to increase your organisations accessibility and engagement with the autistic community. If you are an organisation jump over to our website and take a look at these free resources to support your autistic volunteers to thrive within your organisation https://lnkd.in/e-YAtTU8 Volunteering Queensland #volunteering #volunteersrock

It is estimated that 14.2 million people in the UK volunteered their support and services through a group, club or organisation in 2021/22 and approximately 1 in 5 people, that's nearly 16% of the population volunteer at least once a month (statistics from Volunteers Week). This 'formal' volunteering comes in many forms; through the Scouting and Girl Guide associations, PTAs, working in charity shops and organisations, to help run food banks, being a Citizen Advice trustee, being a listener or advisor on a help line and many more likewise incredibly value roles. And there are countless more volunteers who perhaps would not even consider the tasks that they perform as volunteering - those who regularly care for members of their community through kind deeds such as shopping, cooking, driving, or offering childcare to those who need support. To each and every volunteer, in whatever capacity we would like to say a huge THANK YOU for all that you do! This week is the 40th year of National Volunteers Week and, if volunteering is something that you've considered, it's the perfect time to sign yourself up! Not sure how to volunteer or what you could do? Here's a few ideas: 🔸 Many businesses actively promote their staff engagement with local volunteering - speak to your HR or management about their environmental, social and governance (ESG) policies to find out more. 🔸 Get on social media and ask! Local Facebook Groups can be a great forum for offering your support. You could find yourself helping to litter pick, mend and repair community areas, or run a tea stall for an event! 🔸 Become a STEM Ambassador! Contact STEM Learning UK to see how you can engage with groups. 🔸 Join the global Repair Cafe movement! Use your creative and handy skills to fix broken items for people in your community. It's a great way to breathe new life into items which could end up going into landfill. 🔸 Be a Bupa Coding Day volunteer! Help the teachers, support staff, and children at your local primary school as they go on an exciting Healthy Lunch-Bot Coding Adventure! To hear more about volunteering your services for our Bupa Coding Days please visit: https://lnkd.in/e9EAxp3n #VounteeringWeek #Volunteer #STEMVolunteering #Volunteering #BupaCodingDay #GWTP #STEMLearning #HealthyLunchBot #CodingAdventures

𝗠𝗶𝗻𝗱𝘀𝗲𝘁 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗰𝗼𝗮𝗰𝗵 ▪️ Leadership development enabler ▪️ Former Regional Chief Digital Officer ▪️ Certified NED ▪️ Quilter
Last April, Gail Deayton, my son Jack & I came up with a crazy idea... Vision: a quilt for every child currently in Po Leung Kuk orphanage & care centre for Christmas. 228 quilts for children aged 0-18 y.o., to be sewn within 8 months. Outcome: 255 quilts made by 81 volunteers in 11 countries & delivered this week. Each design is unique & each quilt now belongs to a single child (no sharing required which, for the children, is a big deal). Effort: est. 12,500 hours of work & 500 hours of coordination/support. Value to the children: priceless Cost of time, materials & postage: est. USD 100k, fully funded by volunteers and donors (thank you Selina Ko, Ruby Lam, Debbie Greig Chloe Grimmett). Tools for beginner quilters in HK were donated by Sew Easy (thank you Simon Castley) This isn’t just a heart warming story: it’s also a case study on structured collaboration process: 🎤- Meetings kept to a minimum throughout the project ➟ limited to 4 🧵- Clear instructions emailed to every potential volunteer, establishing responsibilities, the framework of non-negotiables (eg. cotton based batting, to allow the quilts to be used all year round) and clarifying areas where volunteers have total creative freedom. ➟ RACI + empowerment within a framework ✅- Project divided into age-related categories, with beginners typically oriented to the smaller sizes ➟ volunteers set up for success 🎉- Closed Facebook group used for updates, design sharing, encouragements, asking/offering help, etc. ➟ community building, collective ownership & celebrating success 🎯- Monthly email updates & weekly check ins in the closed Facebook group ➟ goal oriented comms 😕- Support to volunteers as needed ➟ the DMs on different platforms got a little overwhelming at some point?! 📈 - Project managed with a clear timeline and the mother of Excel spreadsheets ➟ clarity on deadlines & disciplined tracking 💌- All volunteers requested to write a card to the intended recipient ➟ additional step to help volunteers create an emotional bond with a child they will never meet. This resourceful group quickly became a community & over-delivered, despite very few ever meeting. Adult children enlisted their mother's help (thank you Maaike Steinebach, Tim Johnston Jenny Spray Emma-Kate Gower). Conversely, mothers enlisted their children's help (way to go Joanna Bowers & Sharmila Dantas!) Jules (Julia) White created after school club in Hong Kong International School, teaching beginner quilters. Too many volunteers to list but I connected to some of these ladies. All managed to create beautiful blankets despite demanding jobs: thank you Leslie Engelson Katynka Powning Lara Quie Amanda Chen Corina Larkin Carolyn Chandler Emma-Kate Gower Pip Wearmouth Linda Hoi Tarlan Amigh Katariina Franklin Wika Rawson Tracey Smith Shiny Leung Marianne Bazinette If you ever hear of the lack of co-location being an obstacle to #collaboration, just reach out... we can share a few tips!

I just received this beauty for my service as a volunteer through work. It's called the "Challenge Coin". If you've never volunteered, you really should consider don't so. The impact it has on your and other communities is so rewarding. We all could be a place for needing assistance, but we're not. So why not be a help to those who are, not just monetarily but with your time. They're is so much to volunteering and you learn a lot as well. Example: a baby cannot go to daycare without a pamper/diaper. Do you know how many pampers/diapers a baby goes through from the time they are born? There are more parents working than you think but their ends do not meet to take care of the necessities such as baby formula (which can cost as much $45 per can) and pampers/diapers. No one woke up one day and said, hmm, I want to be homeless, poor, or destitute. Life happens and some people were overwhelmed by their situation which resulted in their current situation. Be careful who you look down on...it could be you next. #volunteering #volunteerism #veteransrock
