Project Summary
1Voice support children who are unable to speak, and provide help and support to their families. The charity hosts networking events where families can share ideas, experience and information about technology. The winning volunteer, Tamsin Crothers, fits her volunteering around her day job as a speech and language therapist. She updates the organisation's website, arranges for groups to keep in touch via email and ensures that all documents, such as agendas and minutes are available on the internet. The judges believed that Tamsin deserved to win as the vital work that 1Voice undertake, could not be achieved without her hard work and in particular her IT skills.
