How Quarryside (St. James Settlement) Transforms a Community Space and Experience | Skilled Volunteering Case Study
The Challenge
Quarryside, a community space located in Quarry Bay, was recently launched in June 2023. It aims to provide diverse experiences that foster a creative, healthy, and sustainable lifestyle. With a newly launched space, the NGO operator, St. James’ Settlement is in need of recruiting for volunteers with event support experience to support the many public activities, including wellness classes, upcycling workshops and community exhibitions.
Our Solution
A total of 11 volunteers were recruited to provide event management, photography, and general support — These volunteers played a crucial role in ensuring the smooth operation of public events. They helped with setting up booths, managing crowds, and serving as ambassadors to answer attendees' questions. During one of the upcycling workshops, the volunteers also educated the public about upcycling by demonstrating how to transform used T-shirts into fabric and knit small bags.
”Time Auction convenes skilled and passionate volunteers to do good to society. Through this platform, we have recruited skilled volunteers to support our event logistics and marketing efforts for different initiatives. Time Auction’s team also offer timely support to facilitate the recruitment process. Overall, we are thankful to have this platform to support our works.”
