HOW WE GIVE BACK

Charity

We are quietly determined to make a positive difference to the universities, timetablers and space managers we work with. And behind the scenes we are also dedicated to supporting other causes that are close to our hearts.

How we give

Sharing our profit

Every month we take a portion of our profit and give this to four amazing charities (find out about the work they do below). 

Paying it forward for feedback

We also donate money every time one of our clients gives us feedback or a testimonial. (Want to leave us feedback? Head to our feedback page.)

Second Step

Mental Health
Second Step is a charity that’s been putting mental health first for people in Bristol and the South West for over 30 years. They believe that with the right support, everyone can take control of their life and make their future their own.
Working hand-in-hand with the NHS and local authorities, Second Step offers practical help and emotional support tailored to each individual and their recovery.
Effective altruism

Making an even bigger difference

We chose three of our charities; GiveDirectly, Fish Welfare Initiative and Clean Air Task Force because they address global causes that we care deeply about. They’re all rated as having a high impact by Giving What We Can – a community focussed on effective altruism. We chose Second Step because of the fantastic mental health support they give to people in Bristol, where we’re based.

What is effective altruism?

Effective altruism is both a research field, which aims to identify the world’s most pressing problems and the best solutions to them, and a practical community that uses those findings to do good.

This matters because while many attempts to do good fail, some are enormously effective – some charities help 100 or even 1,000 times as many people as others, when given the same resources.

By thinking carefully about the best ways to help, we can do far more to tackle the world’s biggest problems.
