Although the origins of the City's livery companies stretch as far back as 1066, livery companies play a vital modern role in commerce and trade and are involved in extensive charitable activities within the City and throughout the UK. LiveryLive Online offers a glimpse of the variety of their work and we hope it will lead you to discover more.

IT charity shares knowledge in Australia

John Davies, Director of the Information Technologists’ Company’s charity iT4Communities, recently flew to Melbourne to advise Monash University on developing the initiative for Australia. He delivered a keynote conference speech to officials from the Australian federal and state government, New Zealand officials, senior researchers at Monash and Australian organisations.

Mr Davies said: “This is a very exciting opportunity for the Information Technologists’ Company to showcase iT4Communities’ many successes and to help Monash University develop a professional IT volunteering programme for the voluntary sector in Australia. We are very grateful to Monash for the offer and the sponsorship that has made this trip possible.”

iT4Communities is the leading national IT volunteering programme in the UK with over 5,300 registered volunteers and over 2,500 registered charities looking for IT help. Since starting in 2002, iT4C has delivered over £2.9 million worth of IT support to UK charities.
