We have for a long time been involved with what has
become known as the third sector, this includes charities, not for
profit organisations, voluntary groups, and local community
centres. We also provide integration of head and branch offices
with cloud resources through a private network for larger regional
and national organasations. We apply the same level of
professional support as we do to better funded private companies.
Charities Voluntary and Community Interest Companies
VOLUNTARY
An early referral from the Probation service provided our first work in the voluntary sector. In all we have provided services for three regional councils for voluntary services. This early experience gave as an understanding of the culture and work undertaken.We have also been involved promoting free and open software which is produced by voluntary coding groups.
HEALTH
For many years now we have supported the IT of health care work, this includes four government sponsored patient and public involvement forums, an African aids helpline, Sexual health awareness projects and a charity that supports the healthcare needs of ethnic and minority groups. 
ENTERPRISE
Without the assistance of the enterprise allowance scheme we would not have been able to start trading 30 years ago. This was a time of some unrest and the Scarman report resulted in a national charity with 12 regional offices, we provided support nationwide support and installed a private network with a shared “cloud” resource allowing files and email access. We support one organisation which provides advice to startup, and affordable incubator office space. In addition we have designed and run IT courses for business startups and unemployed technicians.
COMMUNITY CARE
When all the community care groups in Manchester formed a central support structure they needed, a complete overhaul with network cabling modern PCs, laptops file and mail servers and modern integrated phone system all using solid state discs. This we designed installed and supported.
COMMUNITY
We have supported five local community centres these all have admin office, and an IT suite for training. We have ensured that they and the other charities we deal with get software as a charitable donation from the major vendors such as Microsoft.
