Tech Skills for Good

Earlier this year we launched a pilot programme in partnership with Aviva Bristol’s Technology Team, offering short-term, practical tech support to charities and voluntary organisations across the South West. 

The aim is to match real organisational needs with skilled volunteers, helping nonprofits overcome digital challenges in a manageable, time-bound way.

Stay tuned for reflections on the pilot and updates on future phases.

Why it exists

Many charities face barriers to digital transformation due to limited time, resources and expertise. 

By creating structured pathways for tech professionals to contribute their skills, this pilot explores how short, focused tech interventions can unlock support, strengthen local connections, and build digital resilience across the South West.

It’s a collaboration between Tech4Good South West and Aviva Bristol’s Technology Team - a group of professionals experienced in software development, digital platforms, and IT systems, keen to use their volunteering hours to support local nonprofits.

Stay tuned for stories and reflections from participating charities.

How it works

Running from April to September 2025, the pilot is providing:

  • Free, expert-led tech support tailored to each organisation

  • Help with practical challenges like digital tools, cybersecurity, and service delivery

  • Confidence-building around digital systems and tools

  • Collaboration with tech professionals passionate about social impact

  • A chance to shape future South West tech projects and tech-for-good services 

It builds on proven models of tech volunteering and focuses on place-based partnerships to drive long-term community impact.

The pilot will be coming to an end in September 2025, but we’ll be sharing reflections and stories – watch this space!

Get involved

The pilot will be coming to an end in September 2025, but we’re currently exploring the potential for future phases.

  • Tech professionals who want to volunteer their skills to South West tech projects

  • Charities seeking digital support 

  • Organisations already enabling tech-for-good initiatives
