Case studies
We've been in touch with a few charities recently and worked with them to write up some new case studies for the website. They include:
St Francis Hospice
In 20 years, the IT system at St Francis Hospice in Essex has grown in
an ad-hoc fashion as different budgets allowed different bits of software
and hardware to be added. It's a familiar story for charities and Sara
Glover, Director of Finance & Support Services, knew a full strategic
review of the IT system was fundamental to running the hospice successfully.
iT4Communities put her in touch with Chris Harvey who, with 40 years experience,
was the ideal person to help.
Film It!
Film It! run team-based film-making workshops throughout the UK. They
aim to engage hard to reach young people on topics of relevance to them.
However, their work was being affected by the sheer volume of spam e-mail
they were receiving. Regular iT4Communities Esther Regenwetter was able
to help with only a few visits to the charity. Read about the
project.
Home-Start Oxford
Home-Start is a national organisation providing support and friendship
to families in local communities. Their Oxford branch wanted a friendly,
attractive website and volunteer David Ramos was happy to help. Read about
the "outstandingly attractive" new
site
When we talk to charities who've recently registered with us they often say how important it is for them to be able to read
about the experiences of other organisations working with our volunteers. So if you've completed a project that you think would
make an interesting case study please let us know. We'd love to feature it - and you - on the website.
