For the organisation that does the work and never has time to explain it. Your programmes, last year's numbers, how it started and who runs it — then three plain ways to help, with your banking details where people can find them.

The work, programme by programme

After-school care, meals, skills and the garden — each on a photograph of it happening, so supporters can see exactly what they would be funding.

What's inside

  • HomeA slideshow of your community, why you exist, the programmes you run, last year's impact, voices from the people you serve, and a call to help.
  • AboutHow it started, told properly, a timeline of the years since, the people who run it, and answers on funds and tax certificates.
  • Get involvedGive, volunteer or partner, your banking details, a message form, and the centre on a map with its hours.

Who it's for

A non-profit website for NPOs, community trusts, churches and charities: your programmes, your impact, your story and clear ways to give, volunteer or partner. If you have been looking for an NGO website, a charity website or a community organisation website, it covers the pages donors and volunteers look for first.

Make it yours

Non-profits and community trusts first — and churches, schools, sports clubs and foundations. Any organisation that needs people to understand the work before they give to it.

  • Your organisation, your programmes and your people — every word and picture can be changed.
  • Messages from volunteers and partners arrive in your inbox.
  • Gifts go straight to your own bank account: you show your details, and Pylon never handles the money.
