It's difficult to comprehend that it is over a year since we last posted a news update

The reason is not laziness or lack of news, but simply that we have been so so busy.

During 2019 we have:

  • recruited additional staff
  • upgraded our IT infrastructure
  • successfully completed our tri-ennial BACS Bureau audit
  • retained our ISO27001 Information Security certification
  • added loads more payment gateway providers to our roster
  • expanded our gaming products: raffles and lotteries
  • welcomed lots of new Clients, including (but not limited to):
    • ABCD Bethlehem
    • Addenbrookes Charitable Trust
    • Alcohol Change UK
    • Alder Hey
    • Bliss
    • Blythswood Care
    • Bone Cancer Research Trust
    • ButtleUK
    • Care for the Family
    • Coram's Fields
    • ESMS
    • Eve Appeal
    • Health Poverty Action
    • Heart Research UK
    • Hope and Homes
    • Horse Rangers Association
    • Humane Society International
    • Magpas
    • MHA
    • Prostate Cancer UK
    • Sick Childrens Trust
    • The Children’s Trust
    • Two Wheels for Life
    • World Horse Welfare
    • Zane
    • Plus those currently undergoing setup and implementation (tell you about them later!)

And no signs of it getting quieter – not that we want it to! We are continuing to go from strength to strength.  But, one thing we will do in 2020 though is to assign someone to keep the website up to date – hopefully it won’t be another 12 months before the next update!

Mathew Joined CommittedGiving way back in 2002 at the same time as the launch of our then brand new online fundraising service – which at that time consisted of just the one Client!

All round technical whizz. Amongst other things looks after our servers, provides database administration support, manages third party software and licences. And on top of all this finds time to deal with Clients and develop and implement many of the public facing fundraising web pages. Currently our longest serving team member and long may he continue to be so.

Not surprisingly in his spare time loves tinkering with computers and other high tech pieces of kit. Keeps fit running around the countryside geo caching with his family.

In his spare time a dedicated family man with a keen interest in all things aviation. A real high flyer!
