Welcome
Welcome to the November edition of the iT4Communities volunteer newsletter.
This month we're announcing the details of our annual IT volunteering awards. We had a fantastic time at last year's ceremony, meeting interesting and inspiring people and we hope all the winners enjoyed the evening. This year the event will be even bigger and better, thanks to sponsorship from the BCS, appiChar and WCIT. Read the full details and, then, why not make a nomination?
Nominations can be made by volunteers or by organisations. We look forward to reading about many exciting projects.
Also in this issue:
- We all need a friend
- The future of iT4Communities
- How we've been promoting IT volunteering
- Free database software for managing contact information
- In this month's case study we talk to regular volunteer Yewande Olowokere
- Our usual round-up of IT and volunteering related events
- And, of course, the all-important opportunities of the month
I hope you enjoy this issue and look forward to reading your comments. If you have anything to say please e-mail info@it4communities.org.uk or call 020 7796 2144
