Network

The ITEM3 network aims to provide a focal point for IT work and service development in the voluntary and community sectors in The East Midlands.

The network will:

• Enable 3^rd sector IT projects to share best practice, gain peer support and take part in relevant learning
• Raise the profile of IT issues and work in the sector and enable workers and projects to formulate relevant responses
• Improve effectiveness and efficiency through sharing of resources, knowledge and expertise, including potential funding and tendering opportunities
• Provide support for organisations looking to develop IT support projects and services within the 3^rd sector in the East Midlands
• Take a lead on co-ordinating the delivery of the action plan for “Bridging Digital Divide in a flourishing Region: the 3^rd sector IT strategy”

We meet regularly (usually quarterly) in different venues across the region. The meetings are open to to those working in the sector (voluntary sector / social enterprise) who have an interest in seeing the sector increase and improve the way that it uses ICT. Network members might be an ICT project worker (CircuitRider), project manager or an organization which is looking to develop, launch or promote a project.
