For charities and social enterprises
Digital services built with the people you support
Charity software has to be accessible, affordable to run and kind to the people using it. We co-design with service users and keep running costs low, so more of your budget reaches your mission.
The problem
What gets in the way
Tight, restricted budgets
Funding is often tied to a project, so software has to be affordable to build and to keep running.
People with very different needs
The people you support may be disabled, short on time or not confident online.
Evidence for funders
You need data that shows your impact, without making the service harder to use.
How we help
What we do about it
Co-design
We design with the people who will use the service, such as parents, young people and staff, rather than assuming what they need.
Accessible by default
Plain language, clear layouts and support for assistive technology from the start.
Low running costs
One codebase where we can, and hosting that scales with real use rather than projected peaks.
Data that shapes services
Structured, anonymous feedback that shows what people need and where the gaps are.
