Impact So far….
In total, we have raised £225,000 since 2021. Last year, the ball was a sellout event, raising over £65,000, which directly supports Leeds Community Foundation, small charities, and community organisations within the city to help local people.

With support from 100% Digital Leeds, Leeds Community Foundation funds projects that take various approaches to addressing the digital divide in our communities, from one-to-one and group digital skills sessions to training digital champions. From using art to teach digital skills to providing support for those who are deaf or hard of hearing, organisations are tailoring their work to meet their communities’ needs.

Last years sponsors Hippo, Netcompany, Addelshaw Goddard, Tall, Alt Legal, Pexa, Audacia, BJSS, Clockwise, Altera Digital Health, Bruntwood SciTech, Madeby7, Transition Partners, ByDiffusion.

The Leeds Digital Inclusion Fund, established in 2022 by Leeds Community Foundation, 100% Digital Leeds and Leeds Digital Ball, aims to tackle this digital exclusion head-on.

The fund provides individuals and communities with essential skills, support and equipment to actively participate in the digital world, thereby putting an end to digital exclusion.
