Stocktake counting: a council program

The problem. Small shops have no time to count. Who it helps. A council or library team hosting it, 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 community officer hosts it with local partners and follows progress. How progress is known. Paid hours and counts checked are recorded. A short summary is shared with the council, with names and personal details left out. 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. Ownership of your idea stays with you, and no job, funding or contract is promised. Track record. This is a new idea built on work Deals Colony has already documented. It has not been run yet.
