How do you capture data and evidence of young adults building life and work skills and moving closer to employment safely and securely on a farm in a way that is real and exciting?
With iPads and iPhones!
At The Garden House Marple we're not desk based, we're very much farmyard, woodland and riverside based. Our young adults are hands on and keen to share what they are doing and how they feel about it.
It helps them reflect on how well they are doing and prepare for work interviews to share what they know and can do.
It also informs us, and therefore funders and decision makers across the borough and beyond, about what they need next. You won't get that placing young adults in an uncomfortable sit around a desk scenario.
We (our staff team) want to capture all this in a meaningful, storytelling way. An iPad/ iPhone allows our team to do this with text, video, voice, sound and photography.
Crucially, an iPad is better as it also gives room for staff to complete data filling like registers and reports and more wordy type stuff, gives them desk on the go.
What we need:
2 x iPads or 1 x iPad and 1 x iPhone plus chargers. Practical cases would be brilliant too.
We don't need data enabled - we're Wifi only in the valley!
When we need it:
ASAP
Organisation description:
We are a social farm and community garden charity in a beautiful natural landscape on the banks of the River Goyt in Marple, Stockport. Our supported placement programme, ELEVATE, is for young people of Stockport age 14-24 who are experiencing barriers to work, education and training due to mental health issues, neurodiversity, experience of the primal justice system and other challenges. Working with our animals and mentors, our young adults rebuild their confidence and gain work and life skills to progress into adult life. We are also open to the public and group visits and we are a very popular day out.
