What’s Happening?
LB Tech is launching a give-back campaign supporting UK charities and community organisations with free IT support, cybersecurity audits, and Microsoft 365 setup. Running from 29 July to 30 September 2025, this initiative aims to provide grassroots charities with the digital tools, training, and security they need to operate more efficiently and safeguard their data.
By nominating your charity, you could access professional IT support at no cost, helping your team save time, improve communication, and stay focused on delivering impact.
The Challenges Many Charities Face
From speaking with local charities, we know the digital challenges are real:
- Relying on outdated or free software that doesn’t keep data secure
- Data breaches and loss of sensitive information
- Lacking backup systems, leaving important files at risk
- Reduced credibility with funders and donors due to unprofessional systems
Even charities with basic email domains or simple security measures often find their systems incomplete or not fully optimised. They spend more time fixing problems than delivering services.
Our Solution
This campaign goes beyond simply installing software. Instead, we aim to build stronger, safer, and more efficient digital systems for charities so they can focus on what matters most to them.
Charities selected for this support will receive:
- Free Microsoft 365 Business Basic setup for up to 300 users (using Microsoft’s nonprofit grant)
- Professional charity email domains (e.g. info@yourcharity.org) for improved trust and visibility
- Cybersecurity audits and protective measures, including anti-malware and multi-factor authentication
- Cloud-based data backup for important files and documents
- Staff training on digital safety and best practices
- Ongoing helpdesk support throughout the campaign
Even if you already have a domain or some basic security measures, we can help strengthen what you have, close any gaps, and provide expert guidance tailored to your charity’s needs.
This is not simply about installing software. It’s about enabling charities to build stronger systems, increase their credibility, and spend more time on their mission.

Why Are We Doing This?
Far too many charities struggle with outdated technology, unsecured data, and a lack of reliable IT support. This creates unnecessary risks, wasted time, and additional stress for charity teams already stretched thin.
At LB Tech, we believe that:
- Every charity deserves secure, professional technology
- Smaller organisations should not be left behind in the digital space
- Charities should be focused on their work, not worrying about managing IT issues and problems
By strengthening digital infrastructure, we can help charities:
- Work more efficiently
- Protect sensitive information
- Boost credibility with funders, partners, and the public
Download the Free Workbook
To support this campaign, we’ve also created a free downloadable workbook titled:
“Digital Essentials for Charities: A Starter Guide to Smarter, Safer Tech.”
This practical guide helps charities assess their current tech, plan improvements, and take early steps toward better digital security and collaboration.
Inside the workbook:
- IT self-assessment scorecard
- Microsoft 365 readiness checklist
- Cybersecurity action planner
- Cloud backup worksheet
- Tech support needs map
