On September 26th 2008, the Royal Albert Hall will be taken over by 5000 people. No one will have paid to get in. But everyone will have earned the right to be there and a story to tell about the impact they've made in their local area.
The Orange RockCorps idea is simple: give four hours of your time to a voluntary project in your community, take back ownership of a local space and meet some new friends while you're at it. In return you get a ticket to a legendary gig that celebrates the power of people getting together and taking a positive step for their neighbourhood.
The online realisation of Orange RockCorps was simple too. We provided a platform for RockCorps to speak with an audience who spends more time on social media than they do watching TV. A central hub website tops it off, providing a gateway to the Orange RockCorps concept, aggregating discussion from the multi-faceted social network presence and delivers the nuts and bolts functionality to manage the volunteer programme.
Projects are running now, so get over to www.orangerockcorps.co.uk (or your favourite place online). Chances are, you'll find us there.
