We are proud supporters of tech4good Cardiff
Ashley Bale has been working in the third sector as digital inclusion and innovations manager for a leading charity supporting adults with disabilities in south Wales.
Alongside this operating a digital IT service providing high end responsive websites, progressive apps, marketing and IT.
With a personal goal to promote digital inclusion and accessibility, we are keen on particularly supporting older people, people with disabilities, unemployed, social housing tenants and families in poverty who may not have means to access mainstream technology.
In early 2018 we were in search for venues to provide digital events for free of charge to those living in the Rhondda Cynon Taff area. In August 2018 we were fortunate to meet Louise Shute who was aiming to start a similar service, bringing like minded people together in Cardiff. Through discussions we then decided that we would join together to form tech4good in Cardiff.
