Why the Network exists

Good organisations shouldn't have to work in isolation.

Across communities, organisations are solving related problems — often with limited resources, limited time and limited visibility of the support already around them.

CrisisConnect Network CIC brings those organisations together, making practical collaboration easier.

01

Know who's out there.

Find organisations and support beyond your own service.

02

Share what you have.

Make useful resources visible where another organisation can find them.

03

Work together.

Collaborate where funding, delivery or local need crosses organisational boundaries.

04

Have a voice.

Help shape what the Network — and the technology supporting it — needs to do next.

Our purpose

Connect. Support. Fund. Shape.

Connect organisations

Help members find each other, share resources, make referrals and collaborate around community need.

Support participation

Help organisations onboard, understand the network and adopt the parts of CrisisConnect that are useful to them.

Secure and unlock funding

Pursue grant and partnership opportunities that can support member organisations, collaborative delivery and wider adoption.

Shape future needs

Listen for problems shared across members and turn them into priorities for collaboration, funding and future technology.

Our structure

Two organisations. Two clear jobs.

They work closely together, but they are separate legal organisations with distinct responsibilities.

CrisisConnect Limited

Creates, owns and develops the software.

The Limited company owns the CrisisConnect platform and its intellectual property, develops and maintains the product, and manages commercial software subscriptions and technical delivery.

Community purpose

Our work is directed towards helping community organisations collaborate and strengthen the support available to people.

Funding & partnerships

The CIC can pursue eligible grants, social investment and public-sector partnerships to support network priorities.

Accountability
