We held two Connected Kingston providers workshops last week. As a result of attending this session Kingston Mencap and Volunteering Kingston have switched on the referral option. For all those of you already listed, but who would like to also turn on referrals to their services, please complete this form.
If would like some support with adding or editing your listings, book on to our next workshop, details below.
We would also like to share some feedback that we received. Susie from Volunteering Kingston said, “I met a volunteer at one of our drop-ins who was looking to volunteer as a way to improve his health and wellbeing while chatting to him about his aspirations for volunteering he happened to mention wanting to quit smoking. I had recently completed the Making Every Contact Count training through Connected Kingston in which we learned how to offer bite-size opportunistic advice. I mentioned the Connected Kingston platform as a tool for him to find out about local services. We searched together for services to help people wanting to stop smoking and found the free Kick-it service. As a non-smoker, without Connected Kingston I may not have been able to offer a suitable service, so I was really glad to have the tool at hand."
If you have any examples of how you have used Connected Kingston – please let us know on connectedkingston@kva.org.uk
Next provider workshop
Book on to find out about new features, add or improve service / activity listings, switch on referrals or make any changes you need to relating to organisational / service administrator access.
This will be a practical session - bring a laptop, service information, logos, images and videos and we'll be on hand to help with updates. (Please let us know if you don't have a laptop and we can bring some spares).
