Charity Logistics has been merged with VSC UK and
freshHOPE is providing a page here to help you find their website
(http://www.vscuk.org) and impartial information about what they offer. We have found them
very helpful in our charity work and you
might too.
Leadership Training & Support
With many decisions to make as a charity trustee or director you
sometimes need
leadership support. VSC UK can help you: get things right with the
Charity Commission; find
that
insurance solution you need, ensure
disability accessibility, etc.
Computer Software
Working with Civica through a
special website (Licence to Click)
they provide software at a considerable discount. They are also the supplier
of Microsoft products at a considerable discount, or in some cases free (see
http://www.microsoft.com/uk/voluntary/).
Computer Hardware
Working with Dell there is a
significant discount for those registered with VSC UK (broadly registered
charities and non-profit organisations). They have some special charity
systems but also allow you to specify your own computer with a discount.
Disaster Recovery and Office Space
Working with Liquid IT they provide a disaster recovery service. The idea is pretty simple, say the worst happens meaning you can't use your office, possibly lost your IT equipment too they provide a temporary office with IT and support, set up as you specify.
You may have also heard of their Kensington Charity Centre and location
in Finsbury Square where you can get office space at reasonable rates,
flexible as you grow.
freshHOPE
freshHOPE is a charitable initiative supported by freshSPRING (non-profit Christian web company) with the aim of helping people run a charity or give more effectively. We believe that people want to give but sometimes have a hard time doing so and the passionate people running charities want to spend their time helping people not doing administration.
We are currently developing a resource site for
UK charities and givers that points to useful organisations such as VSC UK
for charities or Every Click for givers. Either bookmark this page and
return soon or send us your email and we
inform you when the site is launched.
