The funding will be used to develop a surge notification system, using historical and real-time data to predict demand for the listening service and accurately identify how many volunteers are needed and when. This ground-breaking solution will empower volunteers to choose their shifts smartly, ‘nudging’ them to sign up for shifts when they will be most needed and alerting them immediately when there is likely to be a surge in demand so that they can help out at short notice. This cutting-edge solution will be open source and easy to integrate, so has the potential for even wider impact across the not not-for-profit sector e.g. food banks.
