Bespoke IT Support for Charities

At Sharp UK, many of our IT Services clients sit within the charity/not-for-profit sector, meaning we have a strong understanding of both the rewards and challenges that come with running this type of organisation. 

With over 30 years of experience in providing IT Support for charities, we understand the solutions and tools that are most suited to non-profit organisations to help them achieve their objectives and goals.

When it comes to non-profit IT Services, we know that there is no one-size-fits-all IT solution. We always strive to build close and lasting relationships with all our clients, ensuring we know their organisations inside out. We understand their needs, and provide tailored IT solutions to meet these. 

Whether it’s support with Microsoft Services, Cloud Solutions, Cyber Security, or Hosted Telephony, you can rely on us to provide IT Services for charities.

We support organisations of all sizes, from IT Support for small charities to Managed IT Services for large enterprises, all of which come with their unique set of technology needs.

Outsourced IT Support for Non-profit Organisations That You Can Trust

With every sector utilising technology to some extent, charitable organisations often find themselves at a crossroads, balancing their IT capabilities with sustaining their mission. However, many encounter similar challenges, including limited financial resources and a shortage of in-house expertise. 

Cyber criminals often view not-for-profit organisations as easy targets ripe for exploitation. Thats’s why we believe, not-for-profit organisations need to be proactive and preventative when it comes to protecting themselves. This is also due to the sensitive nature of the data they hold. Like any organisation that relies heavily on technology, cyber crime has become a huge concern for not for profits – as they are constantly at risk of cyber attack, theft, and data loss.

This is where an outsourced IT partner like Sharp becomes invaluable. We will take responsibility of your charity's IT Services and Cyber Security needs so that you can focus on the running of your organisation, with the assurance that your charity is well-protected and secure.

By providing expertise and support on a fixed monthly basis, we eliminate the need for charities to invest heavily in hiring technical staff, especially for short-term needs. We also facilitate access to donated licenses from companies such as Microsoft, further reducing costs and enhancing efficiency. 

Benefits of IT Support for Charities

Cost-Efficiency

We recognise the challenges of running a charity or not-for-profit organisation, especially when it comes to costs. It's essential to have adaptable support from someone who truly understands your organisation's requirements. With our experience working alongside various charities, you can trust us to understand your needs. Our partnerships with companies like Microsoft, provide discounted pricing tailored for charities and not-for-profits, easing financial burdens.

Security and Compliance

Outsourced IT Support for charities ensures that charities meet industry standards and compliance regulations, safeguarding sensitive data and maintaining trust with donors and stakeholders. 

Industry Knowledge and Experience

We have over 30 years of experience working in IT and providing IT Support for Non-Profits. We have a large team of friendly and experienced technical experts who collectively have ‘seen it all’. This is beneficial for your charity organisation as instead of relying on one person for your IT, you will have the backing of a large team of IT experts to help support you.

Innovation and Growth

Leveraging IT support can empower charities to innovate, explore new fundraising avenues, and expand their reach through digital platforms and technologies.
