Justice & Peace’s network Shelter City ran its application process city by city, on spreadsheets. We replaced that with one centralised system covering all 29 cities - where people can apply once, staff can process and review applications, and Shelter City can see the picture across its whole network. What each person sees depends on their role and their city.
When war forced Sudan's civic space monitoring team to flee, years of vital human rights work faced extinction. We were asked to step in and built an AI tool that will fill the gap that this crisis created—not replacing wanted jobs, but enabling work that to continue when real people were no longer able to do. The system monitors news, identifies civic freedom implications, and tracks developments, with humans reviewing everything before it goes live. What once took hours will take seconds, allowing a scattered team with reduced capacity to continue protecting democratic freedoms remotely.
Together with the Bat Conservation Trust, we crafted a bespoke helpline database that transforms how they support Britain's precious bat populations.

Since 1959, the Charles Darwin Foundation has been a leading voice in environmental research and conservation. The Developer Society partnered with them to create a stunning website that showcases their crucial work in the Galapagos Islands.

Built on Wagtail CMS, the new site effectively highlights the Foundation's scientific research and environmental impact, bringing their important mission to life for a global audience.
Working with the Helplines Partnership, we laid the groundwork for their digital transformation.

A generation ago, 70% of people in Britain walked to school - now it’s less than half that. Living Streets came to us with a clear problem they needed to fix, and, appropriately, it was traffic based: they needed to revamp Travel Tracker for their Walk to School Challenge. We rebuilt the system to handle peak traffic, improving registration and data visualisation.
