EASY TO USE

Users rate its ease of use and low workload 9/10. "Simple, easy to answer and understand questions that make you sit up and think!" The Sunlight Trust

TO TACKLE THE CHALLENGES

"I was mentored by a fellow CEO and learned a valuable lesson - you cannot eat an elephant all at once.

This is where I found the Charity Excellence Framework really useful. For a CEO you have to implement Business Strategy, Risk Assessment, Communication Strategy, Asset Register, Financial Controls, Social Impact Performance and tenths of other practices... Overwhelming? Where do I start?

It is where the framework changed my work life and reduced my stress levels. Via a user-friendly control panel, you can improve your charity performance, a step at a time. Relax and get some work done!" Gregory Kinsman-Chauvet, Founder, Bike for Good,
