Wearside Women in Need (WWiN) was chosen as one of five recipients of donations from Opencast Software after being nominated by senior consultant Liam Finnon, from Washington. Liam was aware of WWiN’s work as he and his parents volunteered at the charity. Opencast has recently donated almost £50,000 to charities whose work in local communities has been much needed during the Covid pandemic. Other charities to benefit include a food bank; a support centre for those in need, including the homeless; an LGBTQ support service and a hygiene bank. The workload for each of the charities has significantly increased since the pandemic began.
