This year we launched the Social
Innovation Programme (SIP), a sixweek
student consultancy course
where students work with social
impact organisations and mentors
from IBM to come up with innovative
solutions to problems they are
experiencing. They conduct both
primary and secondary research,
alongside training sessions to
develop their professional skills.
Thanks to extra funding from the
University of Winchester, we were
able to run a summer cohort of SIP
specifically to help social
organisations with COVID-19 related
issues. This included how to make
online spaces accessible to those
with learning needs and how to use
a space alongside COVID-19
government regulations.
This year we worked with:
Winnall Rock School
WinAcc
Age Concern Hampshire
Child Health International
St. Johns Winchester
Winchester GoLD
Wickham Community Centre
Wessex Green Hub
Compassionate Cuppa
"It gave me a chance to
look at my own ways of
working and change... it
also help[ed] me share
the skills I have."
