onHand - uber for volunteering

onHand是一个屡获殊荣的志愿者配对解决方案，被《标准晚报》、《电讯报》、《地铁报》、BBC广播和《赫芬顿邮报》推荐。IBM将我们描述为“志愿服务的优步”。我们的使命就是打造一个全国范围内的志愿服务优步——让经过审查的志愿者更容易提供帮助，同时让个人和组织更快、更安全地获得帮助。如今，onHand将经过审查的志愿者与老年人和弱势群体配对，这些人需要帮助完成简单的任务，如购物、取药/送药、紧急差事和其他必需品。我们已经能够利用服务不足的企业志愿者市场的需求来帮助解决社会最紧迫的问题之一，而成本只是当今解决方案的一小部分，而NHS的资源最为紧张。在2019冠状病毒病之前，onHand的志愿者匹配平台已经成为护理行业的颠覆者，它利用技术简化了志愿者和老年人的联系方式。对我们平台的回应得到了各种行业专家的赞扬，如国家老龄化创新中心和整个媒体。我们的概念已经在伦敦得到了数千名用户的测试和验证，包括伦敦的哈默史密斯和富勒姆以及兰贝斯，他们委托onHand在COVID-19爆发的情况下帮助他们的居民取得了巨大成功，我们现在已经开始在其他城市进行试点。作为一个创新的小团队，onHand需要投资来扩大规模。拨款将使我们能够投资于我们的技术，并在英国各地复制我们的成功。这一发展将使我们从帮助有限地区的1000名弱势老年人，发展到帮助全国1000名老年人中的100名。在2019冠状病毒病后的世界里，我们希望onHand能够继续为需要帮助的老年人提供更多种类的任务，包括更密切的联系和家庭支持，如轻型园艺、房屋周围的简单任务（如换灯泡和倒垃圾箱）和基本的陪伴，所有这些都是由新志愿者组成的网络完成的，即使在2019冠状病毒病之后，他们也会继续付出时间。这些是我们在当前危机之前成功提供的服务类型——去年提供了数千小时的帮助。

onHand is an award winning volunteer matching solution, featured by the Evening Standard, The Telegraph, Metro, BBC Radio and the HuffPost. IBM describes us as an "Uber for Volunteering". Our mission is to create exactly that: Uber for volunteering on a national scale - making it easier for vetted volunteers to give help, whilst making it fast and safe for people and organisations to receive help.Today, onHand matches vetted volunteers with older adults and vulnerable people who need help with simple tasks such as shopping, medicine collection/drop offs, urgent errands and other essentials. We have been able to tap into demand to help from the under-served corporate volunteer market to help address one of society's most pressing issues, at a fraction of the cost of today's solutions and when NHS resources are most strained.Prior to COVID-19, onHand's volunteer matching platform had established itself as a disruptor to the care industry, using tech to simplify the way volunteers and older adults connect. The response to our platform has been applauded by various industry experts such as the National Innovation Centre for Ageing and across the media.Our concept has been tested and proven in London by thousands of users including by the London Boroughs of Hammersmith & Fulham and Lambeth, who commissioned onHand to help their residents in light of the COVID-19 outbreak to great success and we have now begun pilots in further cities.As an innovative yet small team, onHand needs investment to scale. Grant funding would allow us to invest in our technology and replicate our successes across the UK. This development will take us from helping 1000's of vulnerable older adults in limited areas to helping 100's of 1000's across the country.In a post COVID-19 world, we hope that onHand can resume providing a larger variety of tasks for older people who need help, including closer contact and in-home support such as light gardening, simple tasks around the house (like changing light-bulbs and taking the bins out) and basic companionship, all with a network of new volunteers who continue to give their time even after COVID-19\. These are the types of services we successfully provided prior to the current crisis - delivering multiple 1000's of hours of help in the last year.
