Kehorne's Community Project
In 2021 we wanted to give a little something back to our community and launched an initiative to help a local not-for-profit organisation who has gone above and beyond to help during the Covid-19 pandemic.
We had our first meeting with the Ujala Foundation (led by Arshad Mehmood) to discuss how we can best help them with a new website and how to make it work better for their charity.
Ujala were the winning entry and were independently judged by Resource Productions CIC and Ramesh Kukar – both of whom have a particularly high local Slough standing and know the charity sector intimately.
“It is very obvious that they are really passionate about the work they do and how much they help the local community. After meeting them and finding more about them today, we are excited and committed to making this project work better and harder for them than ever”.
-Paul Fogg, Senior Project Manager
About Slough Online
Slough Online is a community interest company (CIC) set up and supported by Kehorne Limited. Its purpose is simple – to help local charities and community groups to get online and support them in their online work. Depending on the situation this can vary from being an entirely free service to a subsidised one, where Kehorne charge a lower rate for any work undertaken.
As a company we believe that the internet is the most effective way for charities and community groups to get their message out. Unlike printing, once it is set up it remains a live item that can be amended and updated quickly and easily, giving 24/7 access to their audiences.
Here are some of the sites that we have built for local charities and community groups or sites we provide support and hosting for.
cuban-salsa.co.uk
This is a local dance company teaching Cuban Salsa. The teacher has over 20 years experience and is passionate about dance and teaching, which is why we decided to support them. Dancing is great for confidence, it allows people to make new friends and learn new skills. It is also a great low impact way to exercise and have fun.
midasplus.org.uk
MidasPlus is run by local people to support local individuals with physical or learning difficulties who are suffering financial hardship and demonstrate a need that cannot be fulfilled elsewhere. We also help with funding for projects for local community groups. MidasPlus is often seen as a ‘last resort’. Our main focus is in the Boroughs of Spelthorne & Runnymede.
Slough Online CIC took over the site for further development and support. Providing hosting and emails for this local charity.
voluntarysectorawards.org.uk
For Kehorne, this is the site that started it all and was our first foray into charity websites. We are delighted to support this worthy cause and continue to sponsor these awards as they help to celebrate the valuable work that people do when they volunteer. This can have a massive impact on the lives of local people and communities.
stmarys-slough.org.uk
Our local parish church, built around 1877 but this new website was built in 2019! We love this amazing church, it is a pillar of the local community for many more reasons than just a place of worship. Kehorne were proud to be able to help with putting a new website together for them.
sloughantilitter.org.uk
This is a group of people who live, work, and/or learn in Slough and want to make a positive difference to the environment and the local community.
They combat the litter problems in Slough by bringing people together for Clean-up, Reduce, Re-use and Upcycling events.
Slough Online are helping the site owner with support and updates where anything more technical is causeing them problems. We are here to help.
