How we contribute to our community
Nexer is always keen to measure the social impact of our work, support emerging talent and share some of our thinking and experience to help people. We've supported or led some amazing community initiatives.
We helped to establish UX Mentors with MMU and NUX, we co-organised the Manchester Homeless Hack, we continue to support Manchester Digital's Teach Too and Digital Futures programmes, and we regularly run student and community design days.
We're a Contributing Gold Partner to Umbraco, largely because of our on-going investment in improving the platform's accessibility.
We’re also very proud to be the digital partner of Diversity Role Models, a UK charity embedding inclusion and empathy through education and role model storytelling.
