TechSoup Connect England Chapter

We exist because being digital in the voluntary and community sector (VCS) can be challenging.

Right now, we know that VCS organisations are facing the triple whammy of increased demand, increased costs and reduced income. They need to do more with less. One way of achieving this is to make digital improvements within their organisations. But this can be challenging and feel daunting. Especially if you don’t know where to start.

We aim to inspire belief and build skills and confidence within voluntary and community sector organisations as they strive to increase their effectiveness through digital improvements.

Our offer is to support people to take little actions and make little changes which can over time lead to bigger impacts on the way their organisations operate.

• We deliver a series of online events on crowdsourced topics delivering practical support and solutions to everyday digital challenges.

• We provide a space for information sharing, networking, questions and discussion during and in between events.

• We facilitate interactions between people with different, but transferable digital skills, knowledge and experience.

We're here for:

• People working at the 'coal face' of developing the use of digital in their organisation whether through choice or by accident

• Digital professionals wanting to share their skills, knowledge and experiences with voluntary and community organisations
