5 Feb, 2026
Tailored IT support solutions for charities & non-profits — from compliance and security to day-to-day support, all managed by UK-based experts.
We identify and resolve issues before your team even notices them, keeping productivity high.
Most businesses are fully transitioned within five working days with zero disruption to daily operations.
A single point of contact who knows your business inside out and acts as your advocate.
Three things shape outsourced IT manager for charities: JustGiving, the ICO, and the way finance officers operate. Because charities handle sensitive work through JustGiving, outsourced IT manager and the ICO go hand in hand. Cloudswitched handles outsourced IT manager for charities end to end, from Beacon to donation platforms, with the Charity Commission built in. The build typically combines Microsoft 365 management with endpoint security, sized for charities rather than enterprise. For charities, the payoff from sorting outsourced IT manager is fewer outages and a calmer week. You keep ownership of Salesforce NPSP and your data throughout. Everything runs on UK infrastructure, with data kept in the UK. We keep volunteer management resilient, so a bad day stays a small day. It integrates cleanly with Salesforce NPSP and the rest of the stack operations leads already use. Recovery from issues like volunteer access is written down and tested, not assumed. Onboarding is unhurried, with time spent learning Raiser's Edge before anything changes. Trustees get clear escalation paths and a named point of contact.
A clear, structured process from consultation to ongoing support.
Our rolling monthly agreements mean you stay because the service is excellent, not because of a penalty clause.
We embed ourselves in your business culture and processes, acting as a true extension of your team rather than a faceless vendor.
Monthly reports cover ticket volumes, resolution times and system health so you always know exactly what you are paying for.
Spend is mapped to a roadmap you can see, so outsourced IT manager investment matches where charities are heading. There are no surprise charges for capacity nobody uses.
We watch Raiser's Edge and the wider donation platforms continuously, dealing with trouble quietly in the background. Finance officers mostly notice outsourced IT manager as the absence of old problems.
Because the build leans on asset management and a UK helpdesk, outsourced IT manager keeps performing when demand spikes. Finance officers get consistent results instead of a setup that wobbles under pressure.
Controls for outsourced IT manager are mapped to GDPR and documented as we go. Evidencing compliance for an audit then takes minutes, not frantic weeks.
We document the lot, from Raiser's Edge and access rights through to recovery steps. Audits, insurer questions and staff handovers all stay calm as a result.
Controls mapped and documented against GDPR
Practical help with outsourced IT manager from day one
Backup and recovery that is tested, not assumed
Your data kept on UK infrastructure throughout
Monthly reporting measured against your contractual SLAs

Recovery paths are written down and tested in advance, not assumed on the day. When issues like tight budgets strike, we work to agreed recovery objectives, keep volunteer coordinators informed at every step, and bring Raiser's Edge and the Gift Aid claims behind it back online in a known, documented order.
Yes. We support charities day to day, so we already know Raiser's Edge, the rhythm of tight budgets, and what operations leads need from their systems. Outsourced IT manager is set up around your existing workflow, with the Fundraising Regulator accounted for from the start rather than bolted on as an afterthought once something has already gone wrong.
Tickets are logged against contractual SLAs and reviewed every month, so response times are measured rather than promised. Fundraising managers get named contacts and a clear escalation path, which means a outsourced IT manager issue does not sit forgotten in a queue while volunteer access quietly builds in the background.
That is exactly what the roadmap is for. We review compliance and data security regularly, so outsourced IT manager scales as your charities take on more fundraising managers, more clients and heavier demands, rather than becoming the bottleneck that holds the business back just as things start to take off.
On UK infrastructure, with data residency in the UK throughout. That keeps Gift Aid rules simpler for charities and avoids the awkward surprises that come up in client due-diligence when data has quietly drifted offshore. You keep ownership of Raiser's Edge and your data at all times.
We spend the first stretch learning Donorfy, CRM and donor databases and how operations leads work, documenting everything as we go. Only then do we change anything, in a planned sequence. For charities that means outsourced IT manager improves without a disruptive switchover, and there is a written record nobody has to reverse-engineer later.
