Using technology to deliver social impact at scale

The Tech for Good Alliance was created in 2022 by the Scottish Tech Army based on its experience of building a community of more than 3,000 individual volunteers that has worked with over 300 organisations to use technology to deliver social impact.

It is designed to accelerate the development of the Tech for Good ecosystem in the UK, drawing on the technology and talent resources of leading businesses to support the work of nonprofit organisations that are addressing the most urgent issues in our society.

What we work on

The Tech for Good Alliance focusses on three areas of activity, our Pillars. These are designed to align with the corporate mission and ESG objectives of the member companies and to ensure that their people can work on issues about which they feel truly passionate. These pillars are:

  • Social justice, inclusion and equality

  • Skills, talent development and access to opportunity

  • Environment and climate change

What the Tech for Good Alliance delivers

The Tech for Good Alliance is a collaborative ecosystem that delivers value to all of the organisations and individuals that participate in its work

  • Companies with resources of technology and talent

  • Skilled volunteers from those organisations

  • Third sector organisations and the people they support

Ultimately, the end result of the work of the Alliance is the creation of technology solutions that are developed in such a way that they can be deployed to multiple organisation working in specific areas of need, increasing the impact of the work in the short term and resulting in less duplication and more sustainable and maintanable solutions in the medium to long term.

Our members and partners

We are proud to work with leading organisations in the UK, businesses committed to making an impact and supporting the communities in which they live and work. The principle of the Tech for Good Alliance is that by working together these organisations can create a whole that is greater than the sum of its parts, amplifying the contributions of all its members. This aggregation means that members can be part of tackling big problems that would be hard to take on by themselves.

We also work with a range of partners that support the work of the Alliance across all of the projects it delivers. These partners bring expertise, technology and relationships that are aligned with and strengthen the mission of the Alliance.
