At the beginning of the year we started asking our residents for feedback - we asked “What’s working and what’s not working.” 

As well as some really lovely feedback (which we will share shortly in our social media), there were some items we were able to action or fix, and some we are still working on. One of the outcomes from doing this was to create a Basestation Mana Enhancing Understanding.

5th December is International Volunteer Day (IVD), a day that acknowledges and celebrates the spirit of volunteerism at local, national, and international levels. Established in 1985 by the United Nations General Assembly, IVD highlights the importance of people-led solutions to shared challenges.

Numerous reports cite the many benefits of volunteering, including increased wellbeing, improved mental health, boosted self-confidence and self-esteem, and greater life satisfaction, and that’s just on a personal level!

In recognition of this, we wanted to showcase how residents at Basestation support charitable organisations by volunteering their time and skills.
