    Built for good causes like yours

    The scams that turn up most in each kind of good cause, and what your volunteers will learn to do about them.

    • Two charity shop volunteers laughing as they sort donated clothes

      Small charities

      Fake donation requests, hacked email and keeping donors’ details safe.

    • A volunteer serving tea at a village hall lunch club

      Community groups

      Scam messages to members, shared passwords and group chats taken over.

    • A social enterprise manager showing a trainee how to fix a bike wheel

      Social enterprises

      Fake invoices, payment scams, and customer and trainee details.

    • A junior football club treasurer checking her phone at the side of the pitch

      Clubs

      Fake payment links for fees and kit, hacked social media and members’ details.

    • Faith community volunteers setting out chairs and tea in their hall

      Faith groups

      Messages pretending to be a leader asking for gift cards, donation scams and members’ details.

    What changes for your good cause

    Small, regular steps, so staying safe online becomes a habit, not a once-a-year course.

    Volunteers spot the scam before they click
    One 10 to 15 minute step a week each: scam emails, fake requests for money, hacked accounts and AI fakes, with a certificate for each module.
    Donations and payments get checked
    A simple habit for changed bank details, gift card requests and “urgent” payments, so a fake request stops at the first check.
    Trustees have a record when someone asks
    Who has done what, and when, ready for your trustees, a funder’s questions or your insurer.
    Everyone knows what to do if something happens
    Step-by-step help straight away, a Scam Check for messages you’re not sure about, and Coach Nell to ask any time.

    Less than an hour a week for you

    Every Monday a short note on the scam doing the rounds this week, ready to share with your volunteers.

    Any day each person takes their 10 to 15 minute step, when it suits them, on a phone or a computer.

    All the time you see who is up to date at a glance, and the record builds itself.

    Why it's different

    Antivirus protects the device. We help the person.

    Keep your antivirus, spam filters and parental controls. They block known bad sites and files. We cover what they can't: the judgement to spot what gets through, and the confidence to say something.

    • Skills, not just blocks

      You and your team practise spotting scam messages, fake invoices and AI fakes, so you know what to do when one gets past the filter.

    • The risks software can't see

      A convincing call, a rushed payment request or a message from someone pretending to be your boss works on people, not devices. We help you pause and check.

    • A record of what you've done

      Certificates and a dated record of who has done which step, ready when a funder, insurer or customer asks.

    Works alongside your existing tools. We don't replace them.
