A network for organisations
helping people in crisis.
The CrisisConnect Network connects community organisations — sharing tools, referrals, and insight to help more people, more effectively.
Three things the network makes possible
No organisation is stronger alone. Together, they can do something none of them could do individually.
Connects organisations
Referrals flow between member organisations with consent. A person helped by one org can be referred to another — seamlessly, safely, and with a full record of their journey.
Shares tools
Member organisations access the CrisisConnect platform at network rates. Operational tools for sessions, members, volunteers, events, safeguarding, grants, and more.
Generates insight
Anonymised, aggregated data across all member organisations gives councils and funders a real-time picture of community need — without adding to organisations' reporting burden.
Community organisations
Food pantries, digital inclusion organisations, community centres, advice services, befriending services — any organisation working directly with people in crisis.
- Access the platform at network membership rates
- Connect with other organisations for referrals
- Contribute to the regional dataset that evidences your impact
- Be part of something bigger than your own organisation
Councils & funders
Local authorities, combined authorities, grant-making bodies, and commissioners who need a consistent, real-time picture of community need across their area.
- Regional intelligence without burdening organisations with extra reporting
- Consistent KPIs across all funded organisations
- Evidence for commissioning and grant decisions
- Real-time rather than annual data
Meet Sue.
Sue runs a small community centre. Food pantry two mornings a week, twelve volunteers to coordinate, a National Lottery grant running until March, and a donor who gave £200 last month that she still hasn't had time to thank.
It's Tuesday morning. She's on the phone about a volunteer whose DBS expires next month — she found out by checking a spreadsheet. She's trying to pull together a grant monitoring report due Friday: beneficiary numbers, demographics, spend against budget, somewhere across three spreadsheets and a folder of receipts. Last time this took her a full day.
None of this is the job. The job is the people who walk through the door — including the person who arrived this morning in crisis, needing help she couldn't give on her own. And when the balance tips that far, it doesn't just affect the work. It follows her home.
CrisisConnect Network gives Sue the tools to handle all of it. The monitoring report builds itself from data she's already logging. The DBS renewal gets flagged six weeks early. The donor gets thanked the same week. And when someone arrives in crisis, she's not ringing round trying to find the right organisation — they're already in the network. She sends a referral immediately, with that person's full context attached. No dead ends. No false promises. No having to explain themselves to a stranger all over again.
Sue is an illustrative composite, not a real individual — but her week is one we hear about often from the organisations we work with.

- eventConnect, volunteerConnect, grantConnect, donorConnect, and more
Running at the Breadshed, Bridlington
New Pasture Lane Community Centre (NPLCC) has been running foodConnect at the Breadshed food pantry since February 2025. Over 300 households registered, nearly 4,000 visits recorded — and funder reports that used to take hours now take seconds.
NPLCC is the first member of CrisisConnect Network and a founding member of the CIC.
"The sector deserves better. CrisisConnect Network exists to make sure every community organisation — regardless of size or budget — has the tools and connections they need to help people in crisis."Adam, Co-founder — CrisisConnect & Lets Tech Together
