Energise Resources

Why we give our time

There are amazing ideas and initiatives for creating a fairer, safer and more beautiful world sitting with charities and not-for-profit social enterprises who really need help from those of us within the IT and Digital industries to make their ideas a reality.

To save lives, promote social justice, protect our world and our children's future we don't have to be super heroes, but everyone in our industry has "super-powers" that we can use to do something extraordinary. We can do something that others can't, we can use technology and innovation to find solutions to some of the worlds problems.

Time Commitment?

When an engagement is received we distribute it out to the network and ask those interested to raise their hands. If the engagement is something inspiring to you and you have the time available then we will put the team together with you as a part. We are all busy people with day jobs, families and life commitments so you decide if this engagement is for you right now. If not maybe the next one might be, or one in a few months time. Your time commitment is therefore up to you. Once you have committed to an engagement we would of course want you to see it through.
