Harnessing AI for the voluntary sector's benefit

The voluntary sector is often perceived as lacking innovation, but it possesses significant potential for transformative change. Despite this, the sector struggles with financial constraints that hinder the sustainability of innovative ideas. The UK government's AI Opportunities Action Plan fails to address the unique needs of the voluntary sector, missing an opportunity to leverage AI for societal benefit.

To foster innovation, a mission-based approach is essential, channeling funding into the voluntary sector to tackle pressing societal issues. Initiatives like CivTech have begun to lower barriers for participation in AI-driven innovation, but more is needed to ensure these ideas are nurtured and scaled effectively. Establishing a national innovation grid could facilitate resource sharing and support the voluntary sector in becoming a leader in AI advancements.

• The voluntary sector's potential for AI innovation is largely overlooked.

• Financial resources are critical for sustaining innovation in the voluntary sector.
