For charities & CICs
IT that works as hard as your mission.
Small charities and CICs run on goodwill, mixed devices and stretched budgets. Live IT helps you move from personal accounts and scattered storage to a proper, secure setup, without the enterprise price tag or the corporate jargon.
What we usually find
The common starting points for organisations like yours.
Personal accounts everywhere
Staff using personal Gmail, shared passwords and a WhatsApp group instead of proper org accounts.
No clear data ownership
When someone leaves, their files and email history walk out the door with them.
Funder & GDPR pressure
Increasing expectations around Cyber Essentials, GDPR and safeguarding evidence, with nobody internal to own it.
Tight budgets
You need enterprise-grade security on a charity budget, with no waste on features you don't use.
What you get with Live IT
The practical changes that make day-to-day IT something you stop thinking about.
Charity-rate platforms
We use the discounted and free non-profit tiers of Google Workspace and Microsoft 365 wherever they fit.
Cyber Essentials ready
Hands-on help to reach the UK government-backed Cyber Essentials standard funders increasingly expect.
One person, one phone
Direct, personal support. No ticket queues. The same name in your inbox every time.
Clear, honest pricing
Per-user, per-month, pay for the people you have, not inflated seat counts.
