Find out how we can connect you to top tech talent who can support your mission.
We understand the environment in which you operate is extremely challenging just now. There is rising demand for the support you provide at the same time as the funding environment is becoming increasingly difficult.
Technology represents one of the few ways you can make the most of your scarce resources.
Our mission is to help you understand your technical challenges and deliver digital solutions to maximise the impact your organisation can have.
Our community of skilled technology volunteers will work with you to understand the problems and challenges you face daily and the many ways in which technology can help you deliver your services most efficiently. We can work with you to explain these and to deliver practical, working solutions that will help you every day in the work that you do.

There are many ways technology can be used to benefit your organisation. Some examples include:
Automate manual and repetitive processes
Streamline data flows and maximise integrations between your systems
Make the best use of the systems you already have
Identify and implement new solutions, including AI, to help you grow and scale
Some of these may resonate with you or you may have different challenges - in either case, don’t worry about how technology can help you, that’s our job - please do get in touch.
-
Any project will need your time and attention. We need you to:
Work with us to help understand the problem
Be clear about the difference a solution would make to you and how you will measure it
Attend regular meetings to ensure the volunteers can progress the work with you
Be responsive to requests for information
Test the solution once it has been delivered
Implement it effectively within your organisation
-
The short answer is it depends. Our projects are delivered by volunteers, so they may take longer than a service that you pay for. However, part of the process of defining a project with you will be to agree realistic timescales for its delivery.
-
Here’s the good news - there are no costs to you for delivery of the project. If there are ongoing costs to run the solution, such as software licenses, you will be responsible for them but we’ll make it clear up front what those are likely to be.
As the work is being delivered on a pro bono basis we are not able to offer any warranties.

Stable Life supports disadvantaged young people in the Scottish Borders through Equine Assisted Learning and Therapy.

Fanconi Hope, a UK-wide charity supporting those affected by Fanconi Anaemia, reached out for technical support to complete their innovative Patient Passport and Alert Card App. The app, essential for providing medical information to individuals with this rare genetic condition, was nearly ready but needed assistance with launching on the Apple store.
