IT for Charities

Smartdesc is an IT Service Provider and Microsoft Gold Partner whose sole focus is not-for-profit organisations, which includes charities, social enterprises, and the public sector.

We provide a range of IT services including Strategy & IT leadership, Cyber Security, Helpdesk IT Support and project/programme management – tailored to you and delivered through a proactive partnership.

Our team will help you define your IT Strategy, implement systems that are cost-effective, cyber secure and future-proof, and provide IT support to your staff in plain English – and no matter where your colleagues or services are based.

We have a long and deep understanding of the third sector, and use our collective experiences to take a broader view of IT, encompassing strategy, digital systems, data protection and governance.

Both our founding directors’ careers have been within the charity IT space, and between our leadership team we have over 80 years of experience delivering high quality IT services to charities, social enterprises and NGOs.

Almost all of our customers are charities and non-profit organisations, and we spare no effort in ensuring that their IT systems are the most efficient and cost effective they can be, leaving them with greater resources for their front line services.

Testimonials: 

“Trust and confidence has been the greatest value provided overall by Smartdesc. We trust their advice, and if they say they will do something, we have the confidence that they will do it”   Paul Ward, COO, Mind

“With their expertise and practical application, we are no longer tied to servers or single locations; staff can work flexibly and fully from anywhere. We completed the project just before the coronavirus outbreak, and it immediately delivered a return on investment – without it our IT would have been far less efficient”  Vicky Browning, Chief Executive, ACEVO

“Working with the Smartdesc team has been amazing and the team have gone above and beyond with the service provided so far.  Thank you for all your help and keep up the great level of service!”    Sarah Eastwood, Orbis
