Information Architecture

Information architecture (IA) is a science of organizing and structuring content of the websites.
The below information will give a detailed overview of the approach we aim to implement in redesigning St Helena Sandveld Hospice’s website.

Pages being removed:

Blog
No content and requires upkeep.
Newsletter
Almost no content, is outdated and requires upkeep.
Gallery
Almost no content, is outdated and there is no need for a gallery.
Events and funding
Almost no content, is outdated and requires upkeep on event side. Funding side is moved to “donate” page.
Confirm whether the Events page would be something still needed or if a different format such as Facebook will be used.
Projects
Almost no content, doesn’t make sense to use.
High School community service
Will be combined with volunteer page.

New page structure

The new structure will be much cleaner and better flow for navigation as well as clearly dividing content for different target markets. Namely, those that need support and those that want to support.

Weekly support group - Laingville
In partnership with the Department of Social Development we run psychosocial support groups for vulnerable children in Laingville once a week. Always a lot of excitement on a Wednesday morning as the team prepares for their session, assisted by Pikkie the exotic but unruly pink-green snake.
Our facilitators are Sandra Erasmus. Nondumiso Zakhe and Isabel de Villiers with Monica Fölscher as project manager. We focus on prevention of child sexual abuse, using a prevention program with age appropriate and non threatening content. Lots of repetition helps with enforcing the message to this group of 30 pre-schoolers.
All sessions are ended with a chaotic group hug collapsing in a jumble of children and facilitators, followed by Pikkie giving a “piksoen” to every child.

Volunteer
Hero - section ​Volunteer
Volunteers are a valuable resource at St Helena Sandveld Hospice and contribute to all areas of the hospice services.
“Donate” (Linking to donate page)
​Why we need volunteers - section ​Why does hospice need volunteers?
St Helena Sandveld Hospice and all hospices nationally operate independently of the state health system. Hospices have to raise their own funds to maintain the support and care for patients and families affected by life threatening and terminal illnesses.
Hospice volunteers have historically been a very vital and integral part of the hospice community. Without this valuable resource, hospices could not achieve all that they do.
Today accountability, standards and cost effectiveness are more important than ever as hospices strive to meet the many regulatory requirements in an increasingly difficult financial climate.

Volunteer information - section
What is expected of volunteers?
Set their own level of commitment, based on the time they have available.
Attend an orientation session and ongoing training.
Function as members of the inter disciplinary hospice team.
Follow original policies and procedures.
Acknowledge the need for support and participate in appropriate meetings.
Adhere to a signed job description.
What can volunteers expect from hospice?
Go through a process of selection.
Be orientated and receive ongoing training.
Be respected and recognized as members of the inter-disciplinary hospice team.
Receive regular communication on what is happening in the hospice.
Receive ongoing support and assistance from the volunteer coordinator and team members.
Be requested to sign and adhere to the job description.

How to become a volunteer - section
How to become a volunteer?

Frequently asked questions - section
Frequently asked questions
What is a volunteer?
A volunteer is a member of the community who brings skills, abilities, wit, wisdom, energy and mostly time to support us in sharing the care.
Why become volunteer?
People involve themselves in volunteering for many different reasons. It is an opportunity to give back to life what was given to you and to enrich your own life by enriching the lives of others. Volunteer time is very precious both to the volunteer and to the hospice.
Who can become a volunteer?
Hospice volunteers come from a wide range of backgrounds, cultures and ages.
Where can you help as a volunteer?
Hospice needs volunteers in the following areas:
PATIENT CARE; Volunteer duties can be in the Patient Care Department by supporting patients and their families in their own homes.
FUNDRAISING; Volunteers can assist by identifying opportunities for fundraising or by helping with fundraising events. The making and selling of cards is also a very important project. Baking for the Fête is another way to contribute.
HOSPICE SHOPS; The help of volunteers in the Langebaan, Saldanha and Vredenburg shops is always welcome.
ADMINISTRATION; Office assistance, filing and many other administrative activities could be done with the help of volunteers.
BOARD / GOVERNING BODY; This committee consists of members of the community who are elected at the Annual General Meeting. People with business acumen, managerial and networking skills are always needed.
