ICT Homepage

Welcome to my section of our website. As the Regional ICT Champion for the North East, I support third sector organisations to understand and use technology to better achieve their goal of delivering high quality services. So these pages have been designed to help achieve this goal.

My day job is now focussed on an 'Improve Reach' project. The goal is to improve the support, networking and signposting services offered by infrastructure organisations to 4 hard to reach groups. These are: black and minority ethnic groups, refugee and migrant groups, faith groups and isolated rural groups.

I've tried to keep this section lean and functional to help you find everything you need to help you regarding your ICT issues. Take a look through these pages and do let me know if there is any additional information you would like to see published here.

We have set aside a seperate page for the archived ICT E-Bulletins so that they may serve as a record and source of research for any interested parties. So please find these stored at the following link:
