This ‘speed networking’ style event aims to link tech companies seeking Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) volunteer opportunities with voluntary, community, or social enterprise (VCSE) organisations looking for volunteers to support basic digital skills for Leeds residents. The aim is for attendees to leave the event having made meaningful matches, leading to ongoing, mutually beneficial partnerships.
The plan for the morning:
- Introductions and context setting from 100% Digital Leeds, Voluntary Action Leeds, and Forum Central.
- A panel discussion on the mutual benefits to tech companies and VCSEs partnering to support digital inclusion for Leeds residents, from those who have already worked successfully in partnership.
- A ‘speed networking’ style exercise to foster new partnerships.
- An opportunity for attendees to continue any conversations with potential partners.
Who would benefit from attending this event:
- Spaces are limited to 10 tech sector business representatives and 10 VCSE organisation representatives – only one representative per organisation, please.
- All attendees should represent businesses or VCSE organisations based in or delivering services in Leeds.
- Representatives should be organisational leaders with enough influence to action any commitments made. Example roles include CSR or ESG Leads, Volunteer Managers, and Digital Inclusion Officers.
