Charity
In 2023, the UK tech awards was delighted to support two charities, BCCS and Tech She Can. The total amount raised, which was split equally between these charities, was:
£14,383
BCCS provides highly professional and well‑supported Social Workers and Counsellors to help children and young people who are in need.
BCCS works in the East End of London and Essex with children, young people and their families and schools to help them overcome emotional difficulties, behavioural problems and their root causes. The prime focus of the work is to provide an early intervention service to enable them to address difficulties that may be impeding their educational, social and emotional development.
Tech She Can is a charity on a mission to change the ratio of women in tech. Our vision is for women to be equal members in creating and developing the new technology businesses, products, and services that shape our world, ensuring technology works for all.
Tech She Can works together with industry, government, and schools to improve the ratio of women in technology roles by enriching education and influencing change.
