Pro Bono O.R. Update- May 2014
Another busy month for Pro Bono O.R. Since starting in September 2013 we have had
over 40 third sector organisations get in touch, we have completed 5 projects,
are currently working with a further 10 and have another 4 about to
commence. Both the volunteers and the
organisations have been really positive about the Pro Bono O.R. project. The organisations have really benefitted from
the volunteers expertise and time and the volunteers can practice their skills
and gain wider experience amongst other things.
We now have almost 200 registered volunteers, 40 of
whom have already worked or are working on projects.
On June 13th Pro Bono O.R. will be
running a workshop at #EvolveGtrMcr hosted by GMCVO and in partnership with NCVO. The workshop will explain how Operational
Research can make third sector organisations more effective.
We are really pleased with how
the project is going so far. If
