Here is some feedback from two projects we've recently completed:
Fly2help
Fly2help is a small charity supporting families and individuals facing a wide
range of trauma or tragedy
and encouraging aerospace careers.
The charity was about to embark on an
expansion of its services and wanted reassurance about their plans.
When talking about their Pro Bono volunteer they said this: 'He was absolutely brilliant. He was able to review complex issues and
get straight to the heart of what was going wrong. He was then really flexible
and agreed to work with the Chair and myself to resolve our roles and move
forward together.'
The Dachshund Breed Council
DBC is a community group that works
with breed clubs and breeders to improve dogs’ health and welfare.
The problem they faced was that some Miniature Wirehaired
Dachshunds suffer from a form of epilepsy called Lafora
Disease. 2 DNA tests are available, but
are not yet used by all breeders. The DBC wanted a tool to help predict the
probability of breeding puppies with Lafora
Disease.
They said about their volunteer 'she clearly understood the problem we were trying to solve and came up with a tool (in Excel) which is easy for us to update each quarter as we get new test result data. She also kept the solution “simple” while keeping the options open should we manage to collect more sophisticated data in the future.'
