Can I volunteer on the online programme from my work computer?

If you are using a work device to volunteer, we would recommend testing that you can access our reading platform on your device as many organisations have more stringent firewall protection compared to home systems. If you are not able to successfully connect, you won’t be able to participate in a Bookmark online reading programme.

You can check the network requirements here

Please scroll to the bottom of that page and run both the UDP test and are you ready test. You will need to make sure you test on the device that you will be using during your reading sessions. For the UDP test, you will either get a notification that the test was successful or a notification that says that the VPN has blocked access to Bramble. This may be resolved if you disconnect from the VPN and open an incognito window on Google Chrome.
