Boycott your Bed 2024 - Supporting Action for Children 💤 This year, some of our hedgehogs participated in the Boycott Your Bed event in Leeds to raise funds for Action for Children, an incredible charity dedicated to supporting vulnerable children and young people, as well as their families. On Friday 4th of October, they swapped their beds for sleeping bags & camped out for the night – all to raise awareness & much-needed funds and we couldn't be prouder for them! So far our team managed to raise £1,660 for this amazing cause and we'd like to say a huge thank you to everyone for your generous donations! 💙 You can still support the cause by scanning the QR code in the last slide or clicking the link, to donate if you can 👉 https://lnkd.in/eKv7FTiG #ActionForChildren #Charity #Fundraising #boycottyourbed Sarat Pediredla 🦔 Catherine Roberts Holly Orange 🦔 Malcolm 🦔 Seagrave Andrew McMillan Ryan Scaife Connor McLeod Will Feaver

We're passionate about continuous learning and development, which is why we provide our employees with dedicated time off and a yearly learning budget 💙 Recently, our Backend Engineer Uffa Modey took advantage of her L&D to attend EuroPython 2024. “For me, attending EuroPython 2024 was about immersing myself in the Python ecosystem in Europe…I was eager to engage in discussions on a wide range of Python-related topics, with a particular focus on Python Libraries & Tooling, DevOps and Infrastructure (Cloud & Hardware), Python Internals & Ecosystem, and PyData: Deep Learning, NLP, and Computer Vision tracks.” At the conference, Fafa met Python developers of all levels, gained insights from experts on cutting-edge Python topics, and discovered opportunities to contribute to open-source projects.

Our hedgehogs are getting ready to sleep out in support of Boycott your Bed 💤 Right now, 4.3 million children live in poverty across the UK, that’s 30% of all children. Tonight, many will go to bed hungry. Struggle to sleep in a cold, damp house. And start the next day without a warm coat or shoes that fit. This event sees over 150 participants brave the elements and sleep out in Leeds, to raise money for the UK charity, Action for Children. This charity is dedicated to supporting vulnerable children and young people, as well as their families. Currently, 11 of our hedgehogs have signed up to sleep out and raise money for this important cause and we are proud to have raised over £800 already for this amazing cause. Support us in giving children a safe, happy childhood.

Great hosting our first ever event as part of the Leeds Digital Festival on Tuesday, powered by the amazing Transition Partners team! 🚀 Edward Marshall facilitated a diverse panel of AI experts including Sherin Mathew, Nisha Hate (Nair), and Liam Cadd as they discussed the impacts AI could have on businesses and the associated ethical implications. Also, one key realisation was that the primary reason that AI has not yet been widely adopted, was due to education. Lots of people are aware of the limitations but businesses have done a poor job of putting in place guidelines for their employers to leverage this technology to improve their businesses or working lives, so this could be an easy win for businesses looking to stay ahead of the curve 💡 We were delighted to have such an engaged audience in attendance and we equally loved hearing your opinions on AI implementation. These collaborative discussions are so important to ensure that AI is adopted responsibly, ethically, and effectively. Keep an eye out for future events at the lab! 👀 #AI #LeedsDigitalFestival #LDF2024
