Supporting Women in the Voluntary Sector to Make Better Use of Information Technology

The Women's Information Community Outreach Project at the WEVH (Women's Electronic Village Hall) is a lottery funded project (funded until October 2002) designed help women in voluntary and community organisations to be more efficient and effective through better use of ICTs (Information and Communications Technology). This is done by providing a range of flexible and tailor made services for community groups including, consultancy, training, drop-in access and on-line resources/information and networks. For further information about what we offer and how this works visit Services and Projects.

Providing high quality volunteer placements and projects for women wanting to develop their IT Skills

The majority of the services are developed and delivered by a highly skilled volunteer workforce. The project places a great deal of emphasis on supporting women to, apply their IT knowledge in real world situations and develop communication and problem solving skills. This is done through developing effective support and training for volunteers. To find out more about the volunteering side of the project and our approach to volunteers see Good Practice and Volunteering Opportunities.
