RT IT in Community

RT IT Consulting has dedicated some of its time and resources to help some non-profit making organisations. Here are some examples of the work we have done:

With the Charities Aid Foundation (CAF)

Charities Aid Foundation (CAF) is a charity with a unique purpose: to do all in its power to ensure that charitable giving to all charities is as robust and effective as it can possibly be. They raise the profile of giving, lobby for tax breaks, and provide an increasingly broad suite of services to charities and their supporters.

• The CAF has an area called Fund Raising Support which provides a “back office” service for Charities to smooth fund raising. RT IT Consulting's role in this project was to provide six weeks of junior consultancy to help advise CAF on the best IT package to replace its IT platform and thus improve its IT support quality

With Tower Hamlets Education Business Partnership (THEBP)

THEBP's role is to encourage the private sector to work with schools in Tower Hamlets on a range of projects designed to raise achievement and provide pupils with opportunities to improve their work related skills

• THEBP needed to provide the Tower Hamlets' schools with material to help tutor volunteers teach students the basics of MS applications. RT IT Consulting helped this charity by creating five workbooks introducing Word, PowerPoint, Paint, Excel and the Internet. A webpage was also created to allow easy access to the material.

• RT IT Consulting staff attended various two-day courses to help give teenagers advice for their future career. Click below to learn more about the "Getting Ahead" programme

"RT IT Consulting helped "in the delivery of a range of programmes to bring business volunteers into contact with young people." RT IT Consulting "adopt a professional approach to their assignments with us and their staff are committed, academically gifted, and determined to deliver client satisfaction at all stages of the assignment.". UK Charity

• Many of the THEBP programmes' success depends on professionals dedicating some of their time to the schools and children. THEBP is finding it increasingly difficult to persuade busy business staff to give up their time for a whole day or two. RT IT Consulting researched ways of recruiting new volunteers and produced a 'Toolkit' listing contact details and suggested promotional activities to guide THEBP members during their recruitment process.
