In the Spring of 2022, the BIMA community came together to explore how they could support the wave of refugees leaving Ukraine. The idea was to match those with digital skills with jobs in the UK. That idea evolved over time and, in the Autumn of 2022, we’ve launched BIMA Bridge.
The aim of this council is to bring together BIMA members who want to support or create opportunities for people arriving in the UK as refugees, asylum seekers and migrants. For some, this might mean making sure that job opportunities reach them. For others it might mean running targeted work experience placements, or using the business’ resources to support recently arrived communities locally to them, or fundraising for charities working in this space. To take part in the council, you do not need to be doing something huge already – the aim is for us to connect the wonderful goodwill and the desire to help, with practical actions that can make a real difference.
