Nick Bettes volunteered with Guildford & Waverley Crossroads Care
Project Summary
GWCC provide high quality home based respite care for carers but they had a rostering system that was running them. Nick Bettes helped them map their needs, run their tendering process and also oversaw the complete implementation, including writing reports to give accurate 'real-time' information. Previously the weekly timesheets took GWCC staff four hours to produce and thanks to Nick they are available at the click of a mouse. The judges felt that whilst Nick's work wasn't the sexy end of volunteering, the project had revolutionised how GWCC operates.
