Thanks for coming, everyone. OK, so this meeting is for new staff and staff who haven’t been involved
with our volunteering projects yet. So basically, the idea is that we allow staff to give up some of their
work time to help on various charity projects to benefit the local community. We’ve been doing this for the
last five years and it’s been very successful.

Participating doesn’t necessarily involve a huge time commitment. The company will pay for eight hours of
your time. That can be used over one or two days all at once, or spread over several months throughout
the year.

There are some staff who enjoy volunteering so much they also give up their own free time for a couple of
hours every week. It’s completely up to you. Obviously, many people will have family commitments and
aren’t as available as other members of staff.

Feedback from staff has been overwhelmingly positive. Because they felt they were doing something
really useful, nearly everyone agreed that volunteering made them feel more motivated at work. They also
liked building relationships with the people in the local community and felt valued by them. One or two
people also said it was a good thing to have on their CVs.

One particularly successful project last year was the Get Working Project. This was aimed at helping
unemployed people in the area get back to work. Our staff were able to help them improve their telephone
skills, such as writing down messages and speaking with confidence to potential customers, which they
had found quite difficult. This is something many employers look for in job applicants – and something we
all do without even thinking about, every day at work

We’ve got an exciting new project starting this year. Up until now, we’re mainly focused on projects to do
with education and training. And we’ll continue without reading projects in schools and our work with local
charities. But we’re also agreed to help out on a conservation project in Redfern Park. So if any of you
fancy being outside and getting your hands dirty, this is the project for you.

I also want to mention the annual Digital Inclusion Day, which is coming up next month. The aim of this is
to help older people keep up with technology. And this year, instead of hosting the event in our own
training facility, we’re using the ICT suite at Hill College, as it can hold far more people.

We’ve invited over 60 people from the Silver Age Community Centre to take part, so we’ll need a lot of
volunteers to help with this event. If you’re interested in taking part, please go to the volunteering section
of our website and complete the relevant form

We won’t be providing any training for this but you’ll be paired with an experienced volunteer if you’ve
never done it before. By the way, don’t forget to tell your manager about any volunteering activities you
decide to do.

The participants on the Digital Inclusion Day really benefited. The majority were in their seventies, though
some where younger and a few were even in their nineties! Quite a few owned both a computer and a
mobile phone, but these tended to be outdated model

They generally knew how to do simple things, like send texts, but weren’t aware of recent developments
in mobile phone technology. A few were keen to learn but most were quite dismissive at first – they
couldn’t see the point of updating their skills. But that soon changed.

The feedback was very positive. The really encouraging thing was that participants all said they felt much
more confident about using social media to keep in touch with their grandchildren, who prefer this form of
communication to phoning or sending emails.

A lot of them also said playing online games would help them make new friends and keep their brains
active. They weren’t that impressed with being able to order their groceries online, as they liked going out
to the shops, but some said it would come in handy if they were ill or the weather was really bad.

One thing they asked about was using tablets for things like reading newspapers – some people had been
given tablets as presents but had never used them, so that’s something we’ll make sure we include this
time …
