In 2012 were commissioned to run two Digital Switchover programmes: the ‘Communities Programme’ and the ‘Community Outreach Programme’ in the Meridian West area (Berkshire, Wiltshire, Dorset, Bournemouth, Poole, Isle of Wight, Southampton, Portsmouth and Sussex). We worked with partner organisations across the area, and together trained 194 community volunteers who engaged with 6,405 Community Supporters.
Quotation from external evaluation of Digital Outreach programme:
“The performance of Action Hampshire stood out for delivering the most relatively productive programme in the region… Action Hampshire also stood out very clearly from the other areas, because of the energised way in which they highlighted the impact of their Community Outreach Programme – very visibly – through their monthly reports, stories and photographs. Additionally, importantly and without fuss or fanfare, CAH administration was very effective and reassuringly well maintained… Organisational attitude/culture played a large part”.
Peter Hellawell, former Project Coordinator at Action Hampshire, talks about what the Digital Switchover Community Outreach project involved in this short film (via this link).
