Our mobile app allows children to find volunteers and informal-carers close to their parents to conduct simple tasks such as delivery of groceries, medicines, daily face-to-face interactions and emergency alerting of NHS, Police etc if required. The app is continuously and real time connected three-way between the kids, parents and volunteers to coordinate such activities. Volunteers can bid and plan for multiple tasks across multiple elderly households. The open-banking platform is used to approve payments from kids to volunteers in real time for the tasks. Both the kids and the parents can rate the volunteers for each task performed.EXTENSION FOR IMPACTThe features of the app are such that it can be used by other users like carer of a physically disabled person or for self employed, single working parents, young adults working from home etc. There are both a large set of users willing to avail services as well as a large set of volunteers willing to provide such services (a user can act as both service receiver as well as service provider at different times) in the wake of Covid-19 and the new normalcy of working from home.

我们的移动应用程序可以让孩子们找到离父母很近的志愿者和非正式的照顾者，来完成一些简单的任务，比如送杂货、送药品、每天面对面的交流，如果需要的话，还可以向NHS、警察等发出紧急警报。该应用程序在孩子，家长和志愿者之间持续实时连接，以协调此类活动。志愿者可以竞标和计划多个老年家庭的多项任务。这个开放式银行平台用于实时批准孩子们向志愿者支付的款项。孩子和家长都可以对志愿者完成的每项任务进行评分。扩展影响该应用程序的功能是这样的，它可以被其他用户使用，如身体残疾人士的照顾者或自雇人士，单身工作的父母，在家工作的年轻人等。在新冠肺炎疫情和居家办公新常态下，既有大量愿意使用服务的用户，也有大量愿意提供服务的志愿者（用户可以在不同时间同时充当服务接受者和服务提供者）。
