Support for the whole organisation

03 / Ads & Reach

Growth

Amplify your message. We manage Google Ad Grants, run social ad campaigns and optimise your digital presence to reach more donors and beneficiaries.

  • Google Ad Grants

    Up to £7,000/month in free Google search ads to drive donations and raise awareness.

  • Social Media Ads

    Targeted campaigns on Facebook and Instagram to reach supporters and beneficiaries.

  • Digital Optimisation

    Faster websites, better search rankings and clearer messaging that converts visitors into donors.

The Smart Switch

Powerful software without handing away control.

We use enterprise-grade open-source solutions where they give charities better value, transparency and freedom. We host them in the UK, and your organisation keeps control of its data.

What changes

  • 01No recurring software licence fees
  • 02No vendor lock-in
  • 03UK-hosted data under UK law
  • 04Systems your organisation can own and move

Bespoke development

Software built for the sector, owned by the sector.

We design custom software around how charities actually work, rather than forcing your team into a generic product. Open-source foundations and UK hosting mean you retain ownership and control.

Google Ad Grants

Make the grant work harder.

We help eligible charities secure and manage up to £7,000 a month in Google search advertising.

  • We handle the compliance

    Google requires a strict 5% click-through rate and active management. We keep your account compliant so you never lose funding.

  • We spend the budget

    Most charities struggle to use the full allowance. We build the content and landing pages to maximise every penny of the grant.

  • We track the impact

    We don't just count clicks - we track donations, volunteer sign-ups and real engagement.
