AI Workshop for Charities, CIC's and Volunteer Groups in London with Softr
AI Workshop for Charities, CIC's and Volunteer Groups in London with Softr
Overview
Your volunteer information lives in one spreadsheet. Funding applications in another. Community programmes are tracked across emails, WhatsApp groups, and documents. And the latest update on what's happening? Usually, only one person knows.
Sound familiar?
For charities, Community Interest Companies (CICs), and volunteer-led organisations, limited time, stretched budgets, and small teams make everyday administration a real challenge.
When you're focused on making a difference in your community, the last thing you need is to spend hours chasing information, updating spreadsheets, or managing disconnected systems.
What if AI could help you spend less time on administration and more time creating impact?
This hands-on workshop, delivered in collaboration with Softr, will introduce you to practical ways to use AI and no-code technology to simplify how your organisation operates.
You'll explore how to turn the information and processes you already have into useful digital tools without needing coding skills, expensive software development, or a dedicated IT team.
Whether you're coordinating volunteers, managing community projects, tracking funding, or delivering services, you'll discover how AI-powered tools can help you work smarter and make your resources go further.
This isn't about technology for technology's sake.
It's about giving organisations doing important work the tools to do more with less.
Who It's For
This workshop is designed for people working in London's charity, social enterprise, and community sectors, including:

CIC founders and social entrepreneurs who want to build more efficient systems without significant technology budgets.
Volunteer coordinators and community organisers managing people, activities, schedules, and communications across disconnected tools.
Programme and project managers who need better visibility into activities, beneficiaries, reporting, and outcomes.
Small nonprofit teams curious about using AI but unsure where to begin.
