CAST- Free Learning Opportunities in Digital and AI services
Updated: Aug 3
CAST is a UK charity that provides free support with digital and AI to charities and social sector organisations
They aim to help charities and social impact organisations to make the fullest use of digital and AI technologies, in order to be as responsive and resilient as possible.
Their mission is to ensure that every UK social impact organisation has the knowledge, confidence and opportunity to harness the full power of digital and AI. Our work in removing barriers, identifying opportunities, devising initiatives and sparking connections enables organisations to become stronger and more sustainable within themselves - and more responsive to the changing needs, behaviours and expectations of their communities.
By building the digital capacity of social sector organisations, CAST helps them to become better equipped to thrive in the face of rapid social, economic and technological change.

It is amazing how much a proper portrait session can change the way your online profile looks to potential clients or networking contacts. I found a branding guide online explaining how sharp, premium photography can instantly elevate your presence on various digital platforms here in the Canada. The author used the homepage layout of Casino Charlevoix Online to demonstrate how clever color choices and a clean user interface keep visitors focused on the main text. Had a very similar nightmare with a roof repair crew in Nottingham last week. They quoted a flat rate, did half the job, and then demanded extra cash because of weather delays.
