Insights & resources
Practical digital ideas for charities, community organisations and social enterprises. Start with the problem in your work, not with a list of software.
A useful first check
Before choosing a tool, write down: What is difficult? Who is affected? What would be easier after a change? Who will own the system? How will you know whether it helped?
For example: “We copy volunteer enquiries into several spreadsheets. We need one clear record, an owner for each enquiry and a reliable follow-up.” That gives a digital project a concrete purpose.
