Make More’s community-focused activities for the financial year included the provision of free digital support services to those facing financial and circumstantial barriers. This support included assistance with essential online forms, such as benefit appeals, Windrush compensation, divorce fee applications, and eVisa/UKVI applications. To address digital exclusion, Make More also operated a data bank, distributing free SIM cards with texts, calls, and data to individuals lacking access to the internet or phone services. Additionally, Make More hosted STEM workshops and events, primarily aimed at children from low-income households and racially marginalised backgrounds, to spark interest in STEM fields and promote future STEM careers. Through a wellness initiative, we ran a free eight-week fitness and nutrition program for men and women, offering holistic support for the well-being of those we serve.
Make More’s stakeholders include the following groups: - Individuals and families who rely on our digital support services, SIM card distributions, and STEM workshops. - Community organizations and partners such as the Brushstrokes, Nova Training, The Leather Museum, who collaborate with us to reach more people and enhance our program offerings. - Volunteers and team members who contribute to and deliver our programs, many of whom are from backgrounds that have faced similar barriers to those we aim to address. - Grant Funders Consultation with Stakeholders: We have actively sought feedback from our stakeholders in the following ways: Participant Surveys: After each workshop or event, we distribute surveys to gather feedback on the effectiveness of our services, asking what could be improved and what additional support participants need. Community Organization Meetings: We hold regular discussions with partner organizations, , to align our services with community needs and gain insights into how we can improve our offerings. Volunteer Feedback Sessions: We conduct periodic feedback sessions with our volunteers, many of whom have lived experience of the challenges faced by our participants. This feedback informs our approach, particularly in providing culturally sensitive and relevant support. Actions Taken in Response to Feedback: Expanded Service Range: Based on feedback from participants, we added support for additional online services, including eVisa/UKVI applications, and hired a Digital Support Officer to work out in the community, allowing people to have local access to the support without the need to travel. Following the demand of our initial STEM event “Pop up STEM” we have continued to develop our STEM offerings.
Two of the directors are employees of the company for Community engagement and Operations Management and have each been paid a salary based on their contract agreement only.
