ICT

There's only four shopping days left until Christmas, and just 10 days to vote for Connecting Bristol's Green ICT website in the European ICT for Energy Efficiency Project Award.  With Carbon Trust funding, Connecting Bristol calculated Bristol's ICT carbon footprint and developed a Green ICT solutions database offering guidance on how to reduce CO2 emissions.

In 2010 Voscur will be working closely with Connecting Bristol in a special effort to reduce carbon emmissions from ICT use by Voluntary sector groups in Bristol. We hope that this work will deliver productivity gains, efficiency and costs savings for groups, and make a material contribution to the battle against climate change.

The Volunteering and Menoring Network ebulletin this month highlights as their website of the month:

The Guidestar & Experian  third sector database

They say

Community and charitable organisations, working in any field of community benefit, located throughout the UK or ROI can apply for a laptop and a year's free broadband connection.  

iT4C has been sponsored by Nominet Trust to pilot a mentoring programme.
We have volunteers who have an IT qualification but are not currently employed. They are supported by an experienced IT professional as their mentor to help them complete an IT project for you. Do you or an organization you know have a project that needs them?
