We got nominated for 2 iNetwork awards,\u00a0 The Partner Excellence Award and the Covid-19 Response Recognition Award for our work with Halton and St Helens. And as of the 5th February, we have been shortlisted as a finalist. Here is how we got there&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the initiative with St Helens<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>St Helens Together is the name of the collaborative community response programme of residents, businesses, public services and voluntary and community groups across the Borough. One of the key foundations was the Volunteer Portal which was implemented through a partnership which included us!<\/p>\n<p>The aims of the development of the Volunteer Portal were to increase engagement with volunteering, to support organisations more efficiently with the recruitment and management of volunteers, to provide greater flexibility, support, reward and recognition to volunteers, and to have a system that would offer business intelligence and greater insight to volunteers across the Borough.<\/p>\n<p>The volunteer portal was able to create identification cards, which helped with the safety and security of residents as the card had a photo of the individual and confirmed if their identity had been verified and if they had been DBS checked. A Community Task Dashboard was implemented, allowing an overview of all tasks and their status. We then implemented the I Can Help App which is a new innovative and effective way that volunteers could pick up tasks in their area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What were the key achievements of the initiative?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>1,744 volunteers have been registered and together they offered 8,688 volunteering hours.<\/li><li>The economic value of the volunteer support offered \u00a380,796 during the first six months of the programme.<\/li><li>Twenty different voluntary and community sector groups have used the portal.<\/li><li>32,993 people have been supported. <\/li><li>The volunteers managed 37,339 food related tasks.<\/li><li>16,161 telephone calls have been made to support those feeling lonely or isolated.<\/li><li>3,675 tasks have been completed in relation to support around employment and the impact of unemployment.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>In relation to the I Can Help App, here is just some of the feedback collected from the volunteers:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI find it easy to pick up tasks that are suitable to me. The app is great.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cGreat way of linking volunteers with the community.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cUsing the I Can Help App is easy and efficient.

It has provided an infrastructure and efficient organisation which has helped us channel help and support to where it is most needed.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The portal and the App, have shown how volunteers and community tasks can be managed more efficiently through a collaborative, digital approach. This has made it much quicker to recruit volunteers, to raise awareness of tasks that people need supporting with and to gain intelligence. It has also supported volunteers that had not previously used Apps the opportunity to increase their digital skills. The programme has broken down organisational and sector boundaries as it has brought everyone together with a common purpose. Volunteers have come from very different backgrounds and have very different demographics. They have reported that they have greater levels of empathy with others and feel a sense of belonging to their communities. Therefore a greater level of community cohesion, tolerance and kindness has been achieved. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Thank You!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We want to say a big thank you to Halton and St Helens and to everyone who has voted for us so far. It is a huge achievement and milestone for TeamKinetic to have been nominated for 2 iNetwork awards, especially one that recognises our efforts throughout COVID-19. Next step, the awards ceremony!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>About the initiative with St Helens What were the key achievements of the initiative? 1,744 volunteers have been registered and together they offered 8,688 volunteering hours.
