The Technology & Data Sanity Review is where most engagements start — it gives you a clear picture of where you are. These services help you decide what to do next.
You've had the review. You know what's working and what isn't. Now you need a plan.
A Technology Roadmap turns findings into a prioritised, realistic action plan for the next 12 months. It considers your budget, your team's capacity, and what will make the biggest difference to your operations.
What you get
Who this is for: Charities that have completed a review (or already know their pain points) and want a structured plan before committing to any changes.
£2,000–£4,000
Depending on the number of systems and complexity of your organisation. Agreed upfront as a fixed fee.
Choosing software is stressful when you don't have technical staff. Vendors are persuasive, demos look impressive, and it's hard to know whether what you're being shown will actually work for your charity.
I help you make that decision with confidence — from defining what you actually need, through to evaluating options and making a recommendation.
What you get
Who this is for: Charities choosing a CRM, case management system, finance platform, or any significant piece of software. Especially useful when you've already had confusing or contradictory advice from vendors.
£1,500–£3,000
Depending on the complexity of the selection. Agreed upfront as a fixed fee.
Most consultants will tell you what to change. I can actually build it.
With over a decade as a hands-on software engineer and technical leader, I don't just write reports — I write code, configure systems, build integrations, and get things working. If your review identifies a problem, I can fix it. If you need a new tool set up properly, I can do that too.
This might look like
Every implementation is scoped as a fixed-price project with clear deliverables. I'll define what will be delivered, how long it will take, and what it will cost — before we start. No open-ended timesheets.
I also make sure your team can maintain whatever I build. Documentation, walkthroughs, and handover are included as standard — because the goal is to make you less dependent on outside help, not more.
Who this is for: Charities that know what needs to change and want someone who can do the technical work properly, without the overhead of a full agency engagement.
£2,000–£10,000
Varies by project. Scoped and agreed upfront as a fixed fee after an initial assessment.
Some charities need ongoing technology leadership but can't justify a full-time CTO. A fractional arrangement gives you experienced strategic guidance on a regular basis — typically one or two days per month.
This isn't helpdesk support. It's having someone in your corner who understands your organisation, attends board meetings when needed, manages vendor relationships, and helps your team make better technology decisions over time.
What this looks like
Who this is for: Charities that have moved past the one-off review stage and want consistent, strategic technology input. Works well for organisations with £1m–£3m income that are growing or going through change.
From £800/month
Based on the level of involvement needed. We'll agree a scope that works for your budget.
These are areas where I regularly support charities. If any of them sound relevant, let's have a conversation about what would be useful.
Many charities collect far more data than they realise — but struggle to turn it into useful information. I help you understand what data you hold, how it flows between systems, where it gets stuck, and whether your reporting actually tells you what you need to know. Often the fix is simpler than you'd expect.
A practical, proportionate review of your security posture. Not a 200-page compliance document — a clear assessment of the real risks facing your charity, what you're already doing well, and where the gaps are. Focused on what actually matters for organisations of your size.
Sometimes the tools are fine — it's confidence that's missing. I run practical sessions to help your team get more from the technology they already have. This might be making better use of your CRM, understanding data protection basics, or simply getting everyone comfortable with the systems they use every day.
If your charity is merging with another organisation, acquiring a service, or entering a major partnership, understanding the technology landscape on the other side is essential. I provide independent technology due diligence — assessing systems, data, contracts, and risks so you go in with your eyes open.
That's completely normal. Most people start with a conversation — we'll talk through your situation and figure out whether any of this would be useful. No obligation, no pressure.
