What does it actually look like when technology is used for good not in theory, but in practice, with real organisations and real communities?
Tech for Good Voices brings you honest, story-led conversations with the people at the heart of a growing tech-for-good movement. Hosted by Annie Legge of Tech4Good South West, each episode features practitioners, innovators, and changemakers from charities, social enterprises, tech businesses, and community organisations — sharing the challenges they've faced, the changes they've made, and what they've learned along the way.
From AI ethics and digital inclusion to community-led innovation and grassroots practice, the conversations range from local South West stories to themes shaping the sector nationally and beyond.
Whether you're a non-profit professional, a tech specialist with a social conscience, or someone trying to figure out how to make technology work for people, you'll find something here that resonates, inspires, and helps you see what's possible.

Bath looks affluent from the outside, but parts of the city rank among the most deprived 10% of neighbourhoods in England.
Fiona Dawson is Chief Technology Officer at Mayden, the Bath health tech company behind the iaptus patient record system. She co-founded the Bath Digital Divide Collective with Bath Bridge and Tech4Good South West, and sits on the BCS Digital Divide Specialist Group and the techUK Health and Social Care Council.
She tells Annie Legge why exclusion stays hidden when people can pay to replace or repair a device, and why it reaches young families as well as older people. In her day job she asks whether a health service is being greedy with a family's mobile data when it has to last the month. She admits inclusion is rarely the first thing she raises about a new technology, but says it should be the second, third or fourth.

Something they can do tomorrow
Every Clarasys contract carries ten days of volunteering time, and nobody has to be senior to use them.
Sophie Brazell-Ng is a Head of People and Change at Clarasys, an employee-owned consultancy working
across financial services, healthcare, media and the public sector, and a Tech4Good South West
member. She spent some of her ten days taking three colleagues to Dorothy House Hospice Care near
Bath for a day's workshop, built around a problem the charity brought.
She tells Annie Legge she picked those three by what each of them needed: one rebuilding
confidence after six months away, one short of workshop experience, one two weeks into the job.
She is just as clear about the limit. A single day cannot leave a charity something it has no
capacity to run, so the brief is the thinnest useful slice, finished and usable without her team
the next morning.

You still need a human
What if AI could give smaller organisations access to capabilities that previously needed much bigger teams, budgets and technical expertise?
Paul Wiseall is co-founder and managing director of Iternal, a Bristol AI consultancy and product studio, and a Tech4Good South West member. His team has built technology including Good News London for the Greater London Authority and helped Tech4Good South West rethink and rebuild our own website.
Paul talks to Annie Legge about starting with people and problems rather than technology; giving charities and smaller organisations greater confidence and control; and why sharing technical skills can sometimes unlock far more than simply delivering a solution for someone.
And despite everything AI can now do, there is an important limit: technology still needs people who understand the work, the context and the outcome they are trying to achieve.
A conversation about AI, but ultimately about access, agency and what becomes possible when powerful technology is put into more people's hands.
