The work you’re commissioning.
Research, writing, design, development, checks and handover become concrete deliverables. Optional features and changes are distinguishable from the core scope.
EXPERTISE GIVEN. POSSIBILITIES SHARED.
The model is built around 90% volunteered project hours for eligible work. That opens a different route to specialist digital expertise, with eligibility and the contribution calculated for the actual scope. Understand paid responsibilities, external costs and continuing care before agreeing what your organisation will commit.


Contributed expertise forms one strong, joined piece of work.
The model is built around 90% volunteered project hours for eligible work. Specialists contribute their time within a coordinated project with a named lead, agreed deliverables and clear approvals.
See how the skills connectResearch, writing, design, development, checks and handover become concrete deliverables. Optional features and changes are distinguishable from the core scope.
Eligible volunteered hours, coordination and the basis of the calculation are made explicit. A percentage needs a defined scope to mean anything useful.
Domains, hosting, payment fees, subscriptions, stock licences or print production may apply. Existing services are considered first; required spending is agreed.
Care, support, changes and live integrations need a sustainable plan. Recurring costs, review points, ownership and responsibilities are visible before launch.
A clearer answer, an easier enquiry or one task you stop retyping. Start with your own observations and agree a proportionate first scope. Time calculations describe scenarios—not guaranteed savings, forecasts or a quotation.

A popular collaborative programme opening access to research, design and software that can otherwise carry substantial agency costs.
Bring the idea, the organisation and the job you want to improve. Across the collaborating teams, earlier work includes businesses of different sizes and public organisations.
Register your interestEnquiries are considered in the order received by the lead team. Fit, contributed work, scope and start dates are agreed individually.
PROGRAMME-REPORTED / SELECTED PREVIOUS PROJECTS
UK agency quotations reported for selected earlier projects
The programme team reports that some earlier projects attracted quotations above £500,000 from other UK agencies, while supported clients paid little or nothing for the contributed development work.
The collaboration brings expertise and volunteered hours into a clearly agreed project. Your own contribution, external services and ongoing care are confirmed before work begins.
Programme-team-reported comparison. The underlying quotation records and comparable scope have not been independently verified for publication. This is a selected historical example, not a quoted price or a guaranteed saving for your project.
Understand the contribution and costsINVESTMENT / EFFORT YOU CAN MEASURE
Before choosing a funded scope, identify the recurring job and estimate the effort it consumes. Your figures can help compare the cost of leaving that work unchanged with the value of a carefully tested improvement.
Identify a task worth measuring40 tasks × 15 minutes × 50% ÷ 60 × 3 months = 15.0 hours.
This estimate attaches your chosen hourly value to an assumed reduction in repetitive work. It is a planning input, not a project quotation, an invoice discount or evidence that those hours will actually be recovered.
