This is what has happened during the pandemic in Kenilworth. Members of the community came together and created <a href=\"https:\/\/covid-19supportkenilworth.co.uk\/\">&#8216;COVID-19 Kenilworth Support&#8217;<\/a>, a mutual aid group, to provide support to the most vulnerable. The Kenilworth Support Group was formed right at the start of the Coronavirus outbreak. They were supported early on by various local politicians, the local police, local organisations, charities, and businesses.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Recently I had the pleasure of speaking to Nivvi Morales, a member of &#8216;COVID-19 Kenilworth Support&#8217;, who talked to me about their group and how they found using the TeamKinetic Volunteer Management System during COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2050\" height=\"780\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/teamkinetic.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Kenilworth.png?fit=629%2C240&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/teamkinetic.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Kenilworth.png 2050w, https:\/\/teamkinetic.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Kenilworth-300x114.png 300w, https:\/\/teamkinetic.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Kenilworth-768x292.png 768w, https:\/\/teamkinetic.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Kenilworth-1024x390.png 1024w, https:\/\/teamkinetic.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Kenilworth-900x342.png 900w, https:\/\/teamkinetic.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Kenilworth-1280x487.png 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2050px) 100vw, 2050px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4><em><strong>Could you tell me about what your group does and how you came about?<\/strong><\/em><\/h4>\n<p>We came together due to the outbreak of COVID-19. We recognized that some people were vulnerable during this time and were in desperate need of support. The locals of Kenilworth wanted to provide this assistance to those in their town, who now needed support more than ever before.<\/p>\n<p>With the help of all of our volunteers, we organise shopping collections, the delivery of food parcels, and the collection of prescriptions. As well as offering welfare checks and friendly chats.<\/p>\n<p>Recently, we also also created a leaflet which contained information on what shops were offering home deliveries and what local take-a-ways they could get delivered to their doorstep. We was then was able to drop this leaflet at the houses of those self isolating so if they don&#8217;t have access to technology, or don&#8217;t necessary understand how to use it, they still have access to all the information they might need.<\/p>\n<h4><em><strong>Why do you feel people wanted to join your group?<\/strong><\/em><\/h4>\n<p>The people in Kenilworth have a real sense of community, so doing something for others comes quite naturally to the residents. For myself, I wanted to do something and be part of something, rather than sitting at home and watching the COVID-19 death rate go up on the news. We wanted to take action and do what we could to help other people who were more vulnerable during this time.<\/p>\n<h4><em><strong>Why did you decide to look for a volunteer management system?<\/strong><\/em><\/h4>\n<p>Early on into the creation of our mutual-aid group, we began to realise that the data we were handling was very sensitive and we wanted to ensure it was protected. We wanted to ensure that whilst we were helping the vulnerable, we were also ensuring their data was being safeguarded.<\/p>\n<p>With this, we were originally using Google Sheets and WhatsApp to manage our data. This became too much hassle, so we wanted to find a volunteer management system where we could communicate efficiently, assign tasks, track tasks, and keep our data safe.<\/p>\n<h4><em><strong>How did everyone find using the system , was it easy to use?<\/strong><\/em><\/h4>\n<p>Initially, there were some teething issues as some of the volunteers were not big into technology so initially struggled to understand it. However, the majority found it easy to use. What I found really helpful was the ability to raise a ticket if they had an issue with the system, which would then be supported straight away. This really developed a sense of trust with TeamKinetic as we were never left feeling stuck and was always supported.<\/p>\n<h4><em><strong>Which feature did you use the most and how did it benefit your group?<\/strong><\/em><\/h4>\n<p>We used the community tasks feature, and it was honestly a LIFESAVER! Originally, we had such a big volunteer form which became very complex when it came to assigning tasks. This feature was a lifesaver when it came to assigning tasks&nbsp; to volunteers and following up tasks.<\/p>\n<h4><em><strong>What other benefits have you received from using our software?<\/strong><\/em><\/h4>\n<p>It just saves so much time and everything is from one central point of access, making everything so much easier to manage. Using TeamKinetic allowed us to follow up who has done what task, which we originally struggled with. It was if we were missing the final piece of the puzzle; TeamKinetic.<\/p>\n<h4><em><strong>Is there anything you would like to say to any non-profit organisations considering using volunteer management software?<\/strong><\/em><\/h4>\n<p>Make sure you are organised first. Using volunteer management software is extremely helpful, but it will not solve your problems if you are not initially organised.&nbsp; You must ensure your organisation is organised and efficient first in order to fit in with volunteer management software before first signing up.<\/p>\n<h4><em><strong>What does the future hold for your group?<\/strong><\/em><\/h4>\n<p>Well, since the coronavirus outbreak we have now become a registered charity! We want to continue to support those who are vulnerable, even after COVID-19 to ensure nobody ever feels alone. We want to ensure they never struggle to get support. We also want to start helping our customers connect with their family by introducing them to technology.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>If you want to find out more about &#8216;COVID-19 Support Kenilworth&#8217; you can visit their <a href=\"https:\/\/covid-19supportkenilworth.co.uk\/\">website<\/a>, check out their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/kenilworthcommunity\/\">Instagram<\/a>, or visit their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Covid19Kenilworth\">Facebook<\/a> page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">TeamKinetic<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>TeamKinetic helps to build better volunteer communities by providing great tools for volunteer managers that save time, increase impact and improve insight.
