This networking event aims to link tech companies seeking Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) volunteer opportunities with community, voluntary or social enterprise (VCSE) organisations looking for volunteers to support basic digital skills for Leeds residents. We aim 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 short panel discussion with representatives from businesses and VCSEs who have worked in partnership to support digital skills for Leeds residents.
- A networking exercise to foster new partnerships.
- An opportunity for attendees to continue any conversations with potential partners.
Who would benefit from attending this event:
- 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/ESG Leads, Volunteer Managers, and Digital Inclusion Officers.
