Birmingham Club Leader.
Kirit Chauhan has worked at BT since 1982, in Birmingham and all overthe country. He’s the leader of the Birmingham BT Volunteers Club, agroup of current and ex-employees who volunteer their time in supportof local schools.
Kirit started working through the “Kiosk Kate” programme, teaching children about the dangers of making hoax calls and payphone vandalism. Kirit had the daunting task of visiting the schools in Birmingham where the incidence of hoax calls and vandalism were particularly high.
Following one presentation a teach approached him and persuaded him to run an iT class teaching basic computer skills. This led to volunteering as a learning mentor for children at Adderly Primary School, Alum Rock.
Currently Kit devotes a couple of hours a week as a classroom assistant, as well as running the BT Volunteer’s Club. The focus of the BT programme is to support the teaching of communication and citizenship as vital life skills.
Kirit has helped schools, including a special needs school, to apply for the BT schools award to win cash for projects. The schools call his input “Invaluable.”
