As well as promoting the IT profession the WCIT supports educational and charitable
programmes, using the experience, talents and resources of Company members to give
something back to disadvantaged groups in society.

Mr Graham said: “This coming year we will continue to have fun raising money and
providing the expertise of our freemen and

liverymen to help the disadvantaged do better with IT. I will be devoting my

efforts into driving the success of a number of projects. These will include both
the IT4Communities initiative and the ICT Sector Fund, which will give recognition
to companies and individuals that go out of their way to help those less fortunate
than themselves.

The Company currently has over 650 members , all of whom are senior practitioners
in the IT profession.
