The Trust needs volunteers in many different areas. Right now they especially need someone ‘with the gift of the gab,’ says Wendy. ‘We need someone who can ring places like courier companies to see if they will sponsor us by sending some of our computers around the country for free, or a printer to see if they could print flyers for us – that kind of thing. And of course we are always looking for IT savvy volunteers to set up our computers or to give remote IT assistance to tutors, coaches or learners.‘
The Trust is also looking for donations of equipment for students to use – laptops, fax machines, speaker phones, usb wifi receivers, conference cameras, headphones with mics. Technology costs are high, but not as high as travel costs.07
