THIS IS A FREE EVENT - PLEASE FINISH YOUR RSVP IN THE LINK BELOW
Discovery is a process carried out at the beginning of a digital project. It's likely to include researching to find out what your users need, what motivates them and how they experience the world. It can also involve analysing the problem you are looking to solve, developing a hypothesis and creating tools like personas and user need statements.
We'll hear from some small London charities and social enterprises as they share learning from participating in the National Lottery funded Catalyst Discovery programme during 2020. How was the process for them? What are their tips for success? What did they go on to develop (or not)?
We're delighted that we'll be joined by:
* Naomi Louse from Therapy 4 Healing - https://www.t4h.org.uk
* Anna Woolf from London Arts in Health Forum - https://www.lahf.org.uk
* Kehryse Johnson-Fraser from Bubble Theatre - https://www.londonbubble.org.uk
Join us to learn and share experiences - we'll be building in networking time and asking for your suggestions for future sessions too.
Please RSVP and we'll send Zoom joining instructions nearer the time.

(This is an additional/alternative date for the session from CAST & IVAR on Weds 3rd Feb on the same topic. Please only sign up to one, not both, events https://lu.ma/eqctebvx)
2020 saw many small voluntary organisations grappling with tech and taking their services online for the first time.
In the space of a few short months, new tools were trialled, new service delivery approaches were tested, new skills were learned and new knowledge was built.
About the session
This event is run by the NetSquared London and NetSquared Midlands tech for good communities, but open to organisations based anywhere in the UK. We host events for nonprofits and techies to come together to share ideas, learn new skills, ask questions, and collaborate around using technology for social benefit.
We are part of the international NetSquared community.
This is a space to take stock, share and learn from others who've been on a similar digital journey. It'll be an open, safe, lightly-facilitated space to reflect and listen.
Who it's for
This meetup is aimed specifically at small charities. Because we know some of the tech and digital challenges facing small charities are unique to this group.
Why attend
Research shows that peer support and involvement in Tech for Good communities helps accelerate progress with digital - building confidence, resilience and valuable connections. Plus, it's free!
How to sign up
Please complete this form https://lu.ma/eqctebvx and once your registration is approved, you'll be sent a confirmation with Zoom joining instructions.
Please share this with any other small organisations you think would find this helpful :)

Digital Safeguarding - how to deliver safe services online
Description changed:
Details
** Please register for this event via the following link: https://lu.ma/digitalsafeguarding **
How can charities and community organisations continue to deliver safe and effective services online?
Since the start of the pandemic, many organisations across the UK have been rushing to shift their face-to-face services online. Delivering essential services to vulnerable groups in this new context has come with a number of safety challenges. With many organisations working out how to best transfer their safeguarding knowledge to a digital format, it’s been hard to find what best practice looks like.
This virtual session organised by Netsquared London, Tech for Good Brighton and Superhighways will explore in more detail how to put safeguarding at the heart of your online service delivery during the Covid-19 pandemic.
You’ll hear talks from:
Charné Tromp of the Centre for the Acceleration of Social Technology (CAST) & Eva Kestner of Against Violence & Abuse
Charné and Eva will talk you through DigiSafe (https://digisafe.thecatalyst.org.uk/), your new step-by-step guide to digital safeguarding. The guide was written by a network of organisations as part of the Catalyst Network specifically for charities designing new digital services or taking existing ones online.
Emma Anderson, Safeguarding Lead at Oxford Hub
Oxford Hub is a charity running a range of programmes using hundreds of volunteers from across the city. In March, Oxford Hub set up a community response to support people affected by the Covid 19 lockdown. This meant putting in a range of safeguarding measures in place to ensure that everyone is kept safe and still able to get the support they need. Emma will talk about their Safeguarding Framework which captures their learnings from the past 9 months.
There will be time after the talks to share your own reflections, tips and challenges.
Please note that the talks will be recorded so we can share it with people that can't make it in person.
