Custom apps for charities.
Booking + service-management apps for charities and non-profits.
Custom apps. Built for charities.
Most charities offering services (counselling, support groups, food banks, advice clinics) end up running booking through a chain of free SaaS tools — Calendly for slots, Google Forms for intake, Trello for case tracking, WhatsApp for reminders. It works until it doesn't — and the gaps tend to show up in the worst possible moments.
A custom charity app pulls all of that into one place: accessibility-compliant booking with safeguarding fields, automated reminders, attendance tracking, simple case notes, and reporting for the trustees and the funder. The Mending Lines build is the case study — a multi-step booking system with tiered service pathways, all £2,000 all-in.
Most charity apps ship at £1,500–£4,000, in 3–5 weeks.
Custom apps that earns its keep.
