We fix how your organisation runs

For charities, community organisations and small businesses without anyone technical on staff.

/TALK TO SOMEONE FOR FREE

We'll tell you when you don't need custom software. We diagnose what's actually wrong, then fix it with the cheapest thing that works.

Every decision about tools, data and security lands on someone who's guessing. Laikos ends the guessing, on a fixed quote instead of a salary.

Years of doing exactly this, from parish churches to regulated UK software companies. The same person, the same discipline, at every scale.

What we fix

Lost referrals & intake chaos

People you're supposed to help arriving by phone, shared inboxes and personal email, with safeguarding-sensitive data in threads. The usual fix: a proper intake system, often a tool that already exists.

Staff as the booking system

Sessions bookable only by phone or paper. Every booking costs staff time; every missed call is a person lost. The usual fix: online booking your team controls, live in days.

Funder reporting burden

Monitoring numbers hand-assembled from spreadsheets, eating a week every quarter, every grant cycle, forever. The usual fix: an AI-assisted workflow that assembles the numbers for you.

Cyber Essentials deadlines

Councils, NHS partners and funders requiring certification before they'll contract or renew. The usual fix: readiness managed through your assessment; certification itself is issued by a licensed body.

Systems that don't talk

The same data typed into three tools; errors, double work, nobody sure which copy is right. The usual fix: connecting what you have, or replacing the weakest link.

The £25,000 assumption

You assumed this costs agency money, so you never asked. It doesn't. Most of our work fits inside a National Lottery Awards for All grant, and we help you scope the bid.

AI, and nobody sure what's allowed

Staff quietly pasting beneficiary details into chatbots, or a blanket ban costing you the hour instead. Neither is a policy. The usual fix: half a day on what's safe, what isn't, and what's worth automating.

How an engagement runs

01

Scoping call

Free, 45 minutes, no obligation. Bring whatever is eating your week. You leave knowing what fixing it should actually cost, whether you hire us or not.

02

Tech Health Check

A plain-English written diagnosis of how your organisation actually runs. What's fine, what's fragile, what it costs to fix, in priority order. A document you can put in front of trustees.

03

The fix

Whatever the diagnosis calls for, and no more. Quoted fixed, in writing, before any commitment. Overruns are our cost, not yours.

04

Care Plan

Where most organisations end up: your IT department on a monthly plan. Hosting, backups, security monitoring, account administration and small fixes, plus a standing answer to "who do we ask about tech?" Systems and data, not laptops and printers.

The fixes

A

Off-the-shelf, set up properly

Selection, configuration, migration and training on tools that already exist. Often the whole answer.

B

AI workshop

Half a day with your team on using AI without putting your organisation at risk. You leave with the three jobs worth automating first, in writing.

C

Automation Sprint

Your most time-consuming manual process replaced with a working AI-assisted workflow your team controls. Two to three weeks.

D

Cyber Essentials Ready

Gap assessment, remediation and hands-on management through your assessment. Two to four weeks.

E

Prototype Sprint

A clickable, working prototype to put in front of trustees, funders or users. Two weeks.

F

Full Build

A production web app, mobile app or internal tool: designed, built, tested, deployed. Four to six weeks.

Grant-sized by design. Our work fits inside National Lottery Awards for All and similar digital grants, and we write the supplier quote your application needs.

ParishPLC

Years of technology work at every scale, from parish churches and small charities to regulated UK software companies. Our trade is TechOps and security operations for UK SaaS; our clients get the same discipline.
