After hearing about the devastating news about damage created by a thunderstorm to the building of Coventry Citizens Advice, VISAV offered to help with the repairs to the building. Kate Algate, CEO said 'it was so stressful seeing water literally coming down from the ceilings and questioning how we were going to repair it. As a local charity, we struggle to secure funding for such events and it was a relief when VISAV said they would support us, especially at such a busy time when demand for our services are so high.'

The shareholders, Board of Directors and Employees at VISAV have a keen interest in helping our clients to keep people safe. We do this every day by providing, developing and supporting over 10,000 Police, Fire & Rescue, Local authority, PCC and Volunteer administrators to connect with members registered on the Neighbourhood Alert system.

But beyond that we all take great pride in the social value projects we continue to support. Over the years this has included:

COPS (Care of Police Survivors)
Community Garden project at St. Paulinus, New Ollerton, Nottinghamshire
Supporting vulnerable burglary victims by supplying and installing (free of charge) Ring doorbells for their peace of mind
Sherwood Sunset Calendar - proceeds distributed to local charities
Sherwood Food Exchange - at the start of lockdown one

From earlier articles you will see the huge and valued support that the VISAV team have been giving a Basford, Nottingham charity, Mesopotamia. The VISAV owners and Directors visited Mesopotamia last Saturday to help with the packing and wrapping of surprise gifts for local children who, otherwise, would not have a gift to open on Christmas Day. The VISAV team will then help the Mesopotamia team to deliver the presents on Wednesday, along with the families’ food parcels that VISAV have financially contributed towards.

Rachel explained on the project's Facebook page, "We are a local exchange for local people! We are here to accept food donations or household items, and here for people to access food and household items they require. We are a non profit organization and rely upon your donations and good will!"

Amazon Ring donated several of their video doorbells to VISAV to enable us to help vulnerable residents in our community. Recently we passed three of these to local PCSO Nathan Duffus who distributed the first during a burglary revisit and the following two following an incident on Waldeck Road.

PCSO Duffus told us about one of the recipients:

"One of the resident has mentioned the following on the device - ‘I was shook up after my property was broken into as I felt like my personal space was invaded. This left me overthinking on why I was a target for the first time. Then I had a visit from the local officer, which enabled me to feel reassured and a lot more relaxed about the incident. As it was explained, these things can be a bad luck of the draw for opportunist on the prowl.

A relaxing place to meet with friends, to “Breathe” and rest awhile.
A space to plant and grow vegetables and fruit for the whole community to share.
A sensory planted area
Areas for wildlife to inhabit
Wheelchair friendly pathways between the various beds
A place for the whole community to use and be part of – a Community Garden
