Funded by the ICT Hub and located in each of the nine English Regions, a network of ICT Champions are working to support the voluntary and community sector.
Colin Harrison - Regional ICT Champion
Your Regional ICT Champion for Yorkshire & Humber is Colin Harrison, who aims to support voluntary sector organisations to understand and use technology to better achieve their goal of delivering high quality services. Colin’s belief lies in having:-
‘the enthusiasm to use ICT as a positive tool enabling organisations to grow’.white
- By working with the regional and local networks in delivering workshops and other ICT awareness raising initiatives to voluntary sector organisations.
- By identifying existing service providers and then, by co-ordination, sharing best practice to help these become more sustainable. Where there is limited coverage, offering advice and resources on how new services could be set up and gaps filled.
- By being a champion for ICT. Through development work with local support organisations, helping you as front-line voluntary and community groups to understand and be signposted to the practical ICT resources available in your region or nationally.
Our aim is that through a better co-ordinated and resourced network of ICT providers supplying relevant and affordable local support, advice and guidance services, and through awareness raising workshops, to champion the strategic importance of well planned ICT, it will be easier for you to achieve your aims and to deliver quality services more effectively.
