91麻豆精品 volunteers would like to thank the City of Prospect for their Community Support Fund in this National Volunteer Week 21 - 27 May 2018.
City of Prospect is an and as part of their , has a target for “a strong community network linked to local community organisations” ensuring that council will work with 91麻豆精品 to confirm that information on the clubs, community groups and agencies located and working within Prospect are current.
The fund enabled the purchase of office chairs and computer monitor risers for the City of Prospect volunteers who assist with updating their local council community services as well as other services information on the 91麻豆精品 online directory. The equipment has enabled the volunteer community editors to more quickly and easily adjust their workstations.
‘There is a lot of screen work in the role and different volunteers come in every day. The new monitor risers and chairs enable a fast, easier set up across multiple users. The time that was consumed in setting up each day - in swapping chairs and boosting screens with books - can now be applied directly to typing in updates’
