When used well, technology can make a huge difference in organisations. It is a great way to communicate, campaign and collaborate.

This casebook from the RaceOnline 2012 campaign explores how large and small charities have saved money or used free tools on the Internet to meet their aims and objectives.

There are lots of really useful ideas and examples in here together with a selection of links to go further.

Particularly good to see are the local support and development organisations featured.

  • Warwickshire Community & Voluntary Association for their use of Ning
  • Cornwall Voluntary Sector Forum for their use of Wordpress
  • Chester Voluntary Action saving money through impartial advice from an ICT Champion
  • Third Sector Essentials who use video to get a message across
  • Telford CVS who use Twitter effectively in their communications
  • Voluntary Action Leeds for use of Dropbox to share files

All the examples are in the Casebook with links to each of the examples on the Third Sector website.
