Highlights
Volbank System
VolBank is a non-profit organisation located in Glasgow. The name of VolBank comes from the idea that volunteers can offer their skill to other people who need. It aims to promote citizenship and a sense of community by involving people in voluntary activities for local residents and communities. VolBank is keen to develop a VolBank system supporting volunteers to register their skills and needs as well as local communities to announce their voluntary activities. For example, Peter Smith is a local resident in Glasgow. He can paint rooms for local residents. But he needs a local Spanish teacher to teach him Spanish. Sue Anderson is a Spanish teacher living in Glasgow and can teach local people Spanish. She needs a local volunteer to repaint her home. Therefore, Peter Smith and Sue Anderson can use the system to register and get help.
VolBank advertises itself through a local radio station and its website It will add an access link of the VolBank system to the website when the system is ready to use. So that volunteers can access the system via this link. Registered volunteers can press “Login” button to login the system with their email address and password. New volunteers have to click “Registration” box to register their membership first with VolBank. Then the system displays a membership registration form for them to fill. For example, Peter Smith is a new volunteer and has to fill Sections 1-3 of the form as shown below for his membership registration.
After filling Sections 1-3, the new volunteer can press “Submit” button to submit the form. Then the system will check the sections one by one. If any part of Sections 1-3 is empty, the system will return the form with highlight of empty part to the new volunteer. The new volunteer can either fill the empty part and resubmit the form again, or press “Cancel” button to cancel the registration. When “Cancel” button is pressed, the system shows a “Confirmation” box. If the new volunteer clicks the box, the system discards the registration form and displays “Your registration is cancelled” message. If the new volunteer fills empty part(s) and resubmits the form, the system will check the sections again one by one. If no part of the Selections 1-3 is empty, the system saves the registration form for later access and displays “Your registration is successful” message. The new volunteer then can login with their email address and password and start to use the system. Volunteers also can add more skills and/or needs to their registration, or remove current skills and/or needs from their registration, in future.
VolBank staff also can login the system with their email address and password and use the system to match up volunteers. They will get membership registration forms from the system, and match up volunteers based on their skills and needs. When two volunteers are matched up, the staff will fill matched volunteer information in Section 4 of the membership registration form of the two volunteers. For example, when the staff match up Peter Smith and Sue Anderson, the staff fills Section 4 of the membership registration form of Peter Smith and Sue Anderson with their information (see the example form below). Then the staff press “Match Up” button to add the two volunteers to the match-up spreadsheet stored in the system, and send a match-up message to the two volunteers via their email and mobile phone.
