IT consultancy to the not for profit sector, appiChar, is to sponsor the IT volunteering
charity iT4Communities to ensure more charitable organisations can benefit from 
its volunteers who provide professional IT support.

The sponsorship was announced at the Information Technologists’ Livery Company’s
New Master’s Installation Supper on 8th October. New Master, Jo Connell, said: “
We are very grateful to appiChar for sponsoring iT4Communities at a time when funding
has become a key issue. The sponsorship will help iT4Communities grow to find more
volunteer IT professionals to support many more charities in the future”.

iT4Communities was set up by the Information Technologists’ Company in 2002 to make
IT work for charities by introducing them to volunteer IT professionals. The 5,300
iT4Communities volunteers have so far delivered over £3 million worth of IT support
to the voluntary sector.
