Circuit Riders - ICT development
and support
for the voluntary sector
A Circuit Rider is a mobile worker who provides ICT
support
and development to a caseload of small voluntary organisations and who
works in collaboration with other Riders. This page provides some basic information on circuit riding in the UK and what's being
done to develop it.
Please note: Lasa has developed ukriders.info as the
website for its ongoing
Circuit Rider development work including training, principles and signatories,
conference notes,
links to Flickr and YouTube, blogs, reports
and more. Most of the resources which were previously on this
site either have been or are in the process of being moved
to ukriders.info
