Our annual volunteer celebration was the perfect opportunity to recognise the incredible contributions of our team and reflect on what we’ve achieved together.
Bringing Our Community Together
Working across 4 boroughs and different programme areas can make it challenging to foster team connections, so it was wonderful to see natural partnerships forming – particularly between volunteers at Orpington Methodist Church and Age UK Croydon. What better place to celebrate than where it all began: Upper Norwood Library Hub!
Local Impact, Regional Reach
While our heart is in hyperlocal digital inclusion support, helping residents navigate their digital challenges one-on-one, it’s equally important that our volunteers understand their broader contribution to regional and national change.
The Numbers Tell Our Story
Since 2022/23, our impact has been remarkable:
- Volunteers: DOUBLED
- Individual residents supported: TRIPLED
- Session attendance: QUADRUPLED
This growth demonstrates both our ability to scale and our responsiveness to the evolving needs within digital inclusion.
Community Partnership in Action
A huge thank you to Simply Lunch for providing wonderful catering for our celebration – the same corporate partner who recently supported our Office Upgrade to Windows 11. As they say, ‘a full belly makes a happy heart!’.
Here’s to our volunteers who make hyperlocal change possible every day.
