Who we help · Community and not-for-profit

Community organisations and not-for-profit teams

Lean teams that need cost clarity, privacy-aware systems and practical technology planning that fits a real budget.

Common pressures

What we hear most.

  • Small budgets with little room for surprise costs
  • Volunteers and part-time staff sharing accounts and devices
  • Sensitive member, client or donor information to protect
  • Grant and reporting deadlines that cannot slip
  • Technology decisions made by people with other full-time roles

Typical environment

Accounts and access

Mixed staff and volunteer access.

  • No shared logins where they can be avoided
  • MFA on accounts holding personal information
  • Access reviewed when volunteers change

Example situation

An anonymised example of the work.

Situation

A small team relied on informal support, with accounts and files spread across personal devices and no record of what existed.

What the team changed

Accounts and licensing were tidied, the environment was documented and a simple backup and support arrangement was put in place.

Result

The team had a clear place to go for help, costs became predictable and knowledge no longer depended on one person.
