Harnessing digital
When the pandemic hit, charities mostly had to shut their doors like all businesses. Some metaphorically but many physically, those with day centres, drop-ins, regular support meetings, none of these could take place.
One of the things I have exclaimed about on many occasions during all this craziness is ‘thank heavens for technology’! It is unimaginable how much worse this situation would be without it!
Charities suffered a double whammy, not being able to give their clients any physical face to face support due to their vulnerable situation, but also many of their volunteers fell within the ‘at risk’ category. And a third whammy when you include having to cancel all their fundraising events.
Those that could took their services online – one to one support and group meetings, using online meeting technology.
