Prepare step by step
- Define the issue, people served, time available, skills and geography that matter.
- Use first-party organization routes and confirm the opportunity, schedule, age rules, accessibility and screening requirements.
- Ask how resources are used and what safeguarding or supervision applies before donating time, money or goods.
- Keep beneficiary identities, protected information and private stories out of a public project brief.
