Networking event connecting businesses with CSR/ESV goals to VCSEs needing volunteers for digital skills support and transformation.

This networking event aims to link tech companies and other businesses seeking Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and Employer Supported Volunteering (ESV) opportunities, with Community, Voluntary or Social enterprise (VCSE) organisations looking for volunteers to support either basic digital skills for Leeds residents, or organisational digital transformation.

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 Leeds Digital Volunteering Partnership.

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.

Time to network and foster new partnerships.

An opportunity for attendees to continue any conversations with potential partners.

Who would benefit from attending this event:

Separate ticket types are available for businesses and VCSEs. This is so we can ensure there is a balance in attendance from across both sectors. Please choose the correct ticket type.

Spaces are limited so ideally 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/ESG Leads, Volunteer Managers, and Digital Inclusion Officers.
