Tech Skills for Good

We’re excited to launch a new pilot programme that brings together Tech4Good South West and the Aviva Bristol Technology Team, supporting local charities with practical, focused tech help.

This pilot explores how short-term, skilled volunteer support can help non-profits overcome specific digital and technology challenges. Whether it’s advice, troubleshooting, or light-touch improvements, our goal is to help you make progress in areas where limited capacity or confidence may be holding things back.

This is not about large-scale transformation. It’s about matching real organisational needs with the right tech skills, in a manageable and time-bound way.

About the Pilot

Running from April to September 2025, this initiative offers time-limited, expert-led support to voluntary, community and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations navigating digital challenges. Support is tailored to organisational needs, ranging from advice on digital tools to guidance on cybersecurity and service delivery providing;

  • Free access to expert tech support tailored to your needs.

  • Support to tackle practical challenges that are slowing the organisation down.

  • Boost confidence in digital tools and systems.

  • Collaborate with tech professionals passionate about social impact.

  • Help shape a future service that strengthens tech for good in our region.

Why It Matters

Many charities face barriers to digital transformation—limited time, resource constraints, and a lack of in-house expertise. By creating structured pathways for tech professionals to contribute their skills, this pilot helps unlock much-needed support while fostering deeper relationships between the tech and VCSE sectors right here in the South West.

This pilot builds on established models of tech skills volunteering and is rooted in the South West. It focuses on strengthening local connections and learning how place-based partnerships can create long-term impact for communities.

About the Partnership

This initiative is a collaboration between Tech4Good South West and Aviva’s Bristol-based technology team. Together, we’re exploring how tech professionals can support non-profits through short, focused interventions that deliver real value.

  • Tech4Good South West (T4GSW) is a grassroots, community-led network connecting tech professionals, charities, and social enterprises to drive positive social change through technology. We host events, run collaborative projects, and foster a culture of responsible innovation across the region.

  • Aviva Bristol Technology Team brings a wealth of experience across software development, digital platforms, and IT systems. Through this partnership, the team is offering their skills to help local non-profits thrive, supporting digital inclusion, community resilience, and social impact.
