DonorTec Impact | Supporting remote workers m
Through the DonorTec program the ILC was able to obtain Microsoft terminal server software, which has meant that they have been able to employ an occupational therapist for a short-term project that can be worked on from home. Executive Officer, Karen Frost, says, “This would not have been possible without terminal server as the staff member needs to access our database in real time. Accessing downloads through terminal server from home also means that our staff member’s internet usage is not affected as much as if they were doing the same from their home computer.”
They have also seen benefits from other staff being able to access their own desktop from another computer if their computer breaks down or has problems, and for staff travelling around the State to have real-time access to their product database.
DonorTec Impact | Making a (Power)point in the community
Microsoft donations received via the DonorTec program made it possible for SPYNS to use SharePoint server, which has connected school project workers, Aboriginal project workers, seniors, project workers, and playgroup workers.
Information is secure and easily accessible. Their volunteer management committee can see important documents, meeting information and much more from their homes, which is vitally important for the organisation to function properly.
The donations have also made it possible for all workers to have access to the Microsoft Office suite. They regularly use PowerPoint for school programs, staff training meetings, and community presentations. The picture above was taken at the launch of SPYNS’ Glenmore Park Community Centre.
The latest Word and Publisher programs make it possible to create professional looking flyers and documents to advertise community programs and to submit funding applications. This greatly enhances the perception of the organisation, which promotes participation and support, without which these much needed programs would suffer funding loss and lack of participation.
DonorTec Impact | UnitingCare Casino Transport Team
How does our organisation serve the community?
The UnitingCare Casino Transport Team (UCCTT) serves our community by providing a means of transport for a variety of needed care services such as medical related appointments; keeping the family unit intact by taking the spouse or family remaining at home to visit the person in the health or Aged Care institution; working with other groups to provide an opportunity for shopping, when the client attending the medical appointment lives in a rural region and providing a caring and listening Volunteer to give this assistance.
Public transport in our region is spasmodic and unfriendly for sick, aged and frail people. A vast majority of residents no longer drive; the family has moved away for work reasons, thus leaving frail aged people socially isolated.
