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.
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.
