We are proud to be supporting them in bringing together inspiring non-profit sector, social enterprise and social impact initiatives with the technology sector, changemakers, foundations and businesses across the Bath area. We’ve been to and presented at a range of their events, all revolving around tech and social themes.
T4GSW provides a voice for social impact initiatives to identify their needs and share both the opportunities but also the strategic tech challenges they face.
Tech4Good South-West is a merger between Tech for Good Bath and Tech4Good Bristol with members across the social enterprise and non-profit sector, tech and creative sector, local business and advocates for social impact.
To date, the network has comprised a series of showcase events on a variety of social sector themes and discussions on tools and techniques/show & tell sessions including data protection, cyber security, making technology accessible for all, CRMs for non-profits, data strategy on a shoestring, digital in mental health, and digital risk and opportunities in context of youth and kids / and a recent session on older people. Here, the meetup group, if you’d like to sign up.
We share their belief that this network has the potential to develop meaningful collaboration, partnerships and technology solutions to respond with technology-enabled solutions to support social challenges across the region.
Annie Legge, Co-Organiser of Tech4Good South West:
Support to our network from a recruiter fits perfectly into one of the challenges we seek to solve, connecting tech talent to the charity sector across our local communities. We have such great tech talent across the region, and incredible third sector organisations sustaining the most marginalised in our communities. Tech4Good networks can truly become catalysts for accelerating the use of digital at the same time as driving social purpose across our tech sector. Through the ADLIB sponsorship, we will continue to strengthen our network community management with Maria, and increasing our events through the year to include more enabling tech workshops and lunch & learn sessions, coming soon!
