- Create a centralised, secure store of data
from which to inform and advise appropriately
- Manage grant applications to maximise every
funding opportunity
- Engage and develop a network of advocates for
your cause
- Increase awareness with relevant
communications that send the right message to the right
recipient
- Securely record sensitive
information about the people you help and their families
Where you provide advice on issues such as benefits, legislation
and living with a condition, having a centralised store of
information that can be easily updated, increases your internal
efficiency and ensures requests are met appropriately and promptly.
It also creates a wealth of information from which to support those
championing your cause, who may be based out in the regions.
You can help everyone in your team to provide integrated service
by being able to record centrally how someone has been helped, the
outcomes of any appointments, and whether they are a person living
with the condition, a family member, or a professional. However,
this sensitive information must be safeguarded with different
levels of authorised access.
Grant applications can be the lifeblood of a disability charity,
yet they are very time-consuming and if a deadline is missed, your
funding and viability are jeopardised. Grants must be submitted in
a timely manner without overloading your team. Being able to record
information about your achievements demonstrates that previous
funding has been put to good use. Being able to uncover and put a
monetary value to the work done by your volunteers can give weight
to your applications for matched funding. Even recording
unsuccessful applications will help to avoid expending time on
further applications of a similar nature.
