A few weeks ago we bid farewell to our Connecting Up Inc. volunteer Niru. Niru volunteered with us for 144 hours from 13 September 2019 - 9 September 2020 and we are excited to report has moved into full time paid work - Congratulations Niru! We called this article 'Learning Everyday' because one of Niru's many great traits is a dedication to learning about and sharing new tech tools and training concepts with us and we asked Niru in her exit interview if she had any thoughts to share with the other volunteers.

Volunteer Stathis Avramis with an example of SAcommunity statistics generated for councils

Stathis has been utilising Power BI to present and display SAcommunity statistics based on website traffic, service visits and categories of services for councils. The data can assist with decision-making and consultation with needed community groups in the area.

The SAcommunity Statistics page for councils can be found >>here 

Please let us know if your council is interested in these statistics as an aid to community engagement.
