Cheshire charities will get free AI guidance starting in 2026 through a new foundation-AI firm partnership.

Cheshire charities will gain support through a new partnership between the Cheshire Community Foundation and Insightful AI, appointing Ben Sefton as pro-bono chief AI officer to guide ethical AI adoption. The initiative will launch pilot programs at CCF before expanding to hundreds of local nonprofits across Cheshire and Warrington, offering tailored training in AI ethics, governance, and compliance. Training is set to begin in 2026, aiming to help smaller charities responsibly use AI while maintaining public trust and aligning tech innovation with community impact.
