Hannah Wright from VLabsBlog on the possibilities for the sector

There’s an interesting take on the Orange Mobile Volunteering launch up at VLabsBlog, a website specifically about innovation in volunteering across the UK. They recognise the huge value of this idea and think that there are positive signs ahead that it could have a powerful impact on the volunteering landscape;

The question for me has been: are charities geared up to crowd-source exciting projects? While Orange have the marketing power to take the idea to a large number of people, it will be the tasks themselves which define its stickiness. Thankfully, initial signs are positive, and community members are rising to the challenge of pitching ideas to the public vote. Popular ideas already on the community include donating photos for charities to use on their websites (we’re sure lots of organisations using vinspired would love that service), mapping homeless people’s locations so that charities can offer help, and identifying sites in need of Guerilla Gardening makeovers.

Head over the their site to read the rest of the blog post.
