Partnering to Achieve

Here at Pocket Angel we are excited to announce a new partnership with two dynamic organisations who are working towards addressing social deprivation.

Justlife prevents those living in temporary accommodation in Brighton and Manchester from falling into rough sleeping by addressing their health, housing and wellbeing needs, alongside research & policy work to identify long-term solutions to homelessness. Pocket Angel is partnering with Justlife as the distributor of vouchers which are gifted to us.

onHand uses technology to link volunteers with people needing help with errands and other simple tasks. Pocket Angel is partnering with onHand to pick up and deliver food when the recipient of vouchers cannot go out.

Together, the three organisations aim to ensure that those who need it most will receive the services that you have so kindly donated through our vouchers.

We are also excited that these partnerships may be the springboard to allow Pocket Angel to expand into other towns and cities once we have fully established that our model and technology provide a new means for people to give.

April 2020 – Continuing to Work

Even though we have to be remote from each other, Pocket Angel continues to work to support the most vulnerable people in our community through ensuring that messaging and awareness is maintained during these difficult times. We are also working on supplying items such as hand sanitiser to supporting organisations and individuals.

Here we are working with the Bright Young Things from Brighton University on our social media messaging. We are grateful for the support on this initiative from the experts from Edelman, and the supply of technology to allow us to work remotely by HPE.

March 2020 – Pocket Angel Planning

The Directors of Pocket Angel met with some of this years’ Bright Young Things (BYT) team to discuss and decide on the marketing engagement for the Spring and Summer.

We reviewed the BYT ideas for Pocket Angel messaging – we are excited by the fantastic, fresh, ideas that the team are dreaming up. We also worked towards how the BYT team will work with Edelman to spread the message of how and what Pocket Angel is achieving.

February 2019 – Pocket Angel Supporters

A team of Marketers from the University of Brighton joined us to help to work towards having business and charity partners signed up to accept the Pocket Angel vouchers. In addition to this we have the support of experienced Marketing executives from Hewlett Packard Enterprise who will help us further. This is exactly the sort of help we need at this time!

The plan is to have businesses attend an information event to learn more about the app and sign up to redeem the vouchers. The Hilton Metropole Brighton has donated the venue.
