ORGANISATION OVERVIEW

Assist Anytime is a website linking volunteers to

charities so both may avail of a mutual benefit.

Charities post vacancies for

volunteers at short notice on the Assist

Anytime website and then volunteers can browse through the positions to choose something that suits

them.

This way we are offering a simple

convenience service to link charities and volunteers, offering choice to volunteers on a non-committal

basis.

WHY ASSIST ANYTIME WILL WORK:

Existing competition~ our competitors in the

market have been successful to date.

Differentiation~ our website will target the niche student market.

Market research~ our primary research

backs up our motivations for the

website.

OUR UNIQUE SELLING POINTS

Simplicity of the idea.

Gap in the market for students.

Shoestring budget, very little financial investment involved.
