Who is Goodsted?
Goodsted's vision is to empower collaboration for social and environmental progress. We are a platform that connects individuals who want to share/volunteer their skills & expertise with non-profits and impact organisations. Through our digital platform, projects and organisations can post skilled based volunteer needs and find the right person to support their project. It is an open community platform with the aim to nurture collaboration to progress causes we all care about. With this post, we're looking to reach out to individuals interested in volunteering and grow our volunteer community.
Which organisation you will be supporting?
The SIRG provides the right support to mental health patients to ensure that mental health provision is equitably available to all. Their aim is to support vulnerable people to make decisions and have their voice heard when decisions are being made about their lives.
Data supports the fact that there is a lack of equity and equality in the support given to Black Mental Health Patients and the issues surrounding engagement with clinical services.
In addition, there are negative effects of inadequate support opportunities available to parents who find it difficult to engage in a school setting. Amongst other things, this can lead to underperformance, suspensions, and exclusions. Both of these issues disproportionately affect Black communities.
What do they want to achieve?
What do they need help with?
Ensure their website follows the SIRG branding, help improve the speed of their website, and offer structural, and design ideas to make it clear that the message is coming across well. This may be through a restructure of the website, or other creative ideas.
How will this help?
Having a more user-friendly website experience will allow potential and existing service users and members to have quicker access to regular updates, training, projects and self-help tools.
Time Commitment
We estimate it to take about 10 hours.
