Technology that serves your mission.
Strategic IT planning for charities. Digital maturity assessments, three-year roadmaps, funding bid support, and trustee reporting -- all designed for the voluntary sector.
Digital Maturity Assessment
Before you can plan where to go, you need to understand where you are. Our digital maturity assessment evaluates your charity across six dimensions: infrastructure, security, data, skills, culture, and service delivery. The result is a clear picture of your current capability and the gaps holding you back.
We benchmark against the Charity Digital Skills Report and NCVO standards, giving you a framework that funders and trustees recognise. The assessment is practical and proportionate -- designed for charities, not enterprise corporates.
Three-Year IT Roadmap
A three-year roadmap gives your charity a clear technology direction that trustees can approve, funders can support, and staff can follow. It aligns IT investment with your strategic plan and ensures technology decisions are made proactively rather than reactively.
We build roadmaps that account for funding cycles, contract renewals, and the reality of charity budgets. Each initiative is costed, prioritised, and sequenced so you can progress at a pace your organisation can absorb.
IT Content for Funding Bids
Many grant applications include a technology component -- whether it is infrastructure for a new service, devices for outreach workers, or a CRM to manage beneficiary outcomes. Funders want to see that technology investment is planned, proportionate, and sustainable.
We provide the technical content, cost breakdowns, and justification text that strengthens your funding bids. We know what funders look for because we work with charities who have successfully secured digital funding from bodies including the National Lottery, Garfield Weston, and Comic Relief.
Trustee IT Reporting
Trustees have a legal duty to ensure their charity manages risk -- and technology risk is increasingly on the agenda. But most trustee boards lack technical expertise, and the reports they receive are either too detailed or too vague to be useful.
We produce quarterly IT reports designed for trustee audiences: plain language, focused on risk and value, with clear recommendations. Your trustees get the information they need to fulfil their governance duties without drowning in technical detail.
Technology Procurement Guidance
Charities making technology purchasing decisions without independent advice often end up locked into expensive contracts, buying more capability than they need, or choosing platforms that do not integrate with their existing systems.
We provide independent procurement guidance -- helping you define requirements, evaluate options, and negotiate contracts. We are not tied to any vendor, so our recommendations are based on what is right for your charity, not what earns us a commission.
