Stocktake counting: a community group project

The problem. Small shops have no time to count. Who it helps. A community group working together, helping university and senior students who want a first paid role. What you start with. A count sheet and a tidy storeroom. What is delivered. Students count and reconcile a small stock list. A small group works through it together, week by week. How progress is known. Paid hours and counts checked are recorded. Main purpose. The main purpose is a pathway to work, training or a first venture for the people taking part. Honest limits. Counting needs accuracy checks. Child safe practice applies: parent or guardian permission, adult supervision, privacy protection and an inclusive setting.
