How our software helps community trusts

Community trusts often struggle to expand their initiatives due to limited funds and resources. Fortunately, our software and partnership-based approach can offer solutions.

Our approach lets you work independently or in partnership with others. This flexible approach means that, with willingness to collaborate, you can build and maintain an online community for a lot less than you might think.

A Made Open platform lets you utilise the strengths and resources within a community.
