An ecosystem of UK businesses creating positive change with tech
Tech professionals can do more than paint fences on corporate charity days—they can solve problems with tech. Most corporate tech teams give their employees volunteering hours, but understanding charities, scoping technical requirements, and managing project delivery takes time that your managers simply don’t have.
The Tech for Good Alliance removes that friction. We bridge the gap between your team's technical excellence and the frontline digital needs of nonprofits, making it seamless for your organisation to mobilise its specialised skillsets, fulfill ESG goals, and build sustainable digital infrastructure for an under-resourced third sector.

We are a collaborative ecosystem of tech companies, corporate partners and skilled volunteers working together to support the UK third sector using technology.
We act as the bridge—connecting your tech talent with charities that need their expertise to scale their impact. We scope and manage all Alliance projects for you.

While many companies want to give back, they often struggle to find the right charity partners, scope the technical projects safely, or measure the actual impact. We handle all the heavy lifting—vetting the charities, defining the project boundaries, and ensuring your team's skills perfectly match the need so no hours are wasted.

Once you sign up, we’ll work with you to understand what’s important to you – for example a cause, a place, or a client priority. Based on that, we’ll present you with some options for projects to consider.
We offer a flexible, modular delivery approach to volunteering that respects your commercial deadlines and ESG and CSR commitments.
Delivery approach can include:
Short and Sharp: Opportunities with a focus on delivery. Best done on site with the charity present. High energy, impactful, exciting
Sprints: Treat it like a contract–consolidate the volunteering budget into small teams and let them work on it full time. Excellent social value reporting
Bench Time: When some of your people are between contracts. Opportunities to upskill and maintain interest and focus.
10% Time: Longer term opportunities over the course of several weeks. Helps build new teams, opportunity to develop hard and soft skills
Collaborations: Can be phased development, e.g., prototyped by one member, built by another. Can also be short and sharp high visibility joint working

Frequently Asked Questions
What Alliance Members are saying
“I am constantly surprised by how passionate our people are about our partnership with the Tech for Good Alliance. It’s better than setting up an in-house program. The idea that anything we build can be used more than once is a key benefit. Some of the softer skills that our ANDies are developing through the Alliance are invaluable.”
Fiona Burton, AND Digital

We have worked together with inspirational charity leaders and service users on a wide range of opportunities to make a positive difference in their communities, bringing together more than 100 people from across the firm.”
Rob McCargow, PwC UK
“I wasn’t quite prepared for just how invested I’d become in each of the charities; I was expecting it to feel more like a day-to-day project, where we just do the work and hand it over to the client… But we’ve taken on a real feeling of ownership and responsibility to these charities, because what we deliver really matters for these people.”
Thomas Gracie, BJSS volunteer
