About This Cause
Code First: Girls is a multi-award winning not-for-profit social enterprise that focuses on increasing the proportion of women in tech. We help increase diversity in tech issue by doing three things: One, we support young adult and working age women to develop further personal and professional skills. This includes technical skills in coding and programming as well as industry relevant professional skills. Two, we connect women to a community of other talented and like minded women and companies who can support and accompany them through their professional development. Three, we help companies train their people, recruit new people, and develop their talent management policies and processes so they don’t miss out on amazing female tech talent. We currently teach 2000+ women and men how to code each year. Over the past 4 years we've delivered £2.5 million+ of free coding courses to younger women, and helped companies to recruit better tech talent. As a self sustaining social enterprise, we raise our revenues through a combination of corporate and professional training services, and all our profits get plugged back into running the free community coding courses and other activities we run with smart women who want to build careers in tech and entrepreneurship. Over the past 3 years, for every £1 we have generated in revenue, we have not only covered our company and staff running costs, but also delivered £5 worth of free coding education. Our community is now 5500+ strong, and is doing amazing things. Find out more by looking through our website www.codefirstgirls.org.uk.
