IT Volunteer Awards 2006

Best Impact Project - finalist

Bromsgrove and Redditch Advocacy Group & volunteer Joe McNulty

Summary of Project

The project was to update and reconfigure the organisation's PCs, setting up a network with a server, and setting up remote access.

This project has made a tremendous difference to this small charity.

  • Information is stored centrally enabling easier access and better efficiency.
  • Staff can work from home enabling the organisation to introduce a flexible working policy and a home-working policy.
  • Since this project has been implemented the number of people who have accessed the service has increased by 61%.

This provides clear evidence of improved efficiency.
