What
happened.

The reason nobody sticks at volunteering is that nobody ever tells you what your three hours did. So at the end of every month, we tell you. Specifically, with names, including when the answer is disappointing.

Nothing to report yet.

This board started at nought and it is still early. The first report goes out at the end of this month, and it will contain real numbers or it will not go out at all.

What will be in it

Letters

How many were sent, how many MPs they reached, and how many replied with something other than a form response. We will publish the good replies in full.

Shops

What was actually bought against what food banks actually asked for, which is rarely the same thing.

Calls

How many were made, and what people told us about the person on the other end.

Rooms

How many meetings had somebody in the public gallery who would not otherwise have been there, and whether it changed a single decision. Usually it will not have. We will say so.

The disappointing number goes in every time. A report that only ever contains wins is marketing, and you would stop believing it by the third month.
