Illustrative figures for the concept — We're just getting started. Count yourself in.

Why Count Me In?

Because inclusion starts when somebody chooses to show up.

Count Me In is our invitation to individuals and employers who want to use their time, skills and experience to help people feel more confident, connected and included.

Some volunteers give an hour. Others bring a whole team. Some share digital skills. Others simply bring patience, encouragement and conversation.

It all counts.

The Difference An Hour Can Make

Sometimes it starts with sitting beside someone.

Before

“I don’t know how to do this.”

One Volunteer

Listens. Shows them. Lets them try.

After

“I can do it myself now.”

Digital confidence

Everyday technology and online services.

Health & wellbeing

Help people access digital health services with confidence.

Money & safety

Scams, safer choices and online confidence.

Share your skills

Professional expertise that strengthens communities.

Can You Hear Me?

From listening to action

From Listening To Action

You heard the question. Could you be part of the answer?

“Can You Hear Me?” asks us to notice people who risk being left behind.

Count Me In is one way we respond. Volunteering turns listening into action — giving someone time, confidence, skills and human connection.

The song starts the conversation. Volunteers help turn that conversation into change.
