"One of our biggest challenges was the increasing number of requests for help after the corona pandemic. More and more residents needed a helping hand. It turned out to be difficult to find people from the neighbourhood who could assist. The Neighbourhood Network is a useful tool to connect these requests with volunteers from the neighbourhood. So far, we have a score of 100% for matching supply and demand.”
