Connecting organisations.
Helping people in crisis.

CrisisConnect is a shared, secure platform for East Riding community services — combining day-to-day operational tools for centres with regional insight reporting for councils.

Role-based access Shared data model Regional reporting Consent-led messaging
What it is

A modular platform built for community support

Centres can manage members, record shop visits and interactions, and communicate with people in a GDPR-aligned way. At the same time, the pilot creates a regional dataset that enables consistent reporting and insight across East Riding.

For centres

Run services with less admin: membership, visits, referrals, messaging, and volunteer tracking — all in one place.

For councils & funders

Better oversight: regional trends, capacity vs demand, consistent KPIs, and lighter-touch reporting for charities.

Modules

One app. Switch on what you need.

Start small for the pilot. Add modules as services evolve. Pricing can be aligned to funding and local need.

Members & visits

Simple membership and shop/visit recording with KPIs (frequency, spend, engagement) and audit trail.

Messaging

Consent capture, card-ready notifications, surveys to daily visitors, and targeted broadcasts for updates and offers.

Volunteers & DBS

Track DBS/certifications, expiry dates, and basic volunteer roles — designed for small teams.

Community interactions

Record non-shop support (advice, projects, digital inclusion, referrals) to evidence wider community impact.

POS / till modernisation

Touch-friendly checkout, optional dual screens, and future pathways for card payments and in-store feedback.

Regional reporting

Power BI-ready views for centre dashboards and council-level aggregated insight (pilot scope).

East Riding pilot

Build once. Roll out across the region.

What the pilot delivers

  • A working system at a pilot centre (NPLCC), refined through real operations.
  • A modular app design suitable for multiple centres with different needs.
  • A shared regional dataset to reduce reporting burden and improve insight.

How it scales

  • Centres only see their own information (organisation partitioning + access controls).
  • Regional reporting is aggregated/permissioned for council oversight.
  • Commercial roll-out supports sustainability, with profit-share options for pilot partners.
