Company activities and impact

The CIC develops and runs the now-u app, website and other supporting technology. The now-u app provides users with access to learning materials, actions and campaigns designed to help people learn more about important social and environmental issues and to facilitate charitable action. During the financial year 2023-24, the now-u app ran multiple campaigns including campaigns to support people affected by cancer and mental health difficulties. The work of the CIC benefited our multiple stakeholder groups in various ways, including: - Providing volunteering opportunities for c.15 people, helping them to develop their skills and in several cases, to move into new careers - Helping people across the UK improve their knowledge about important social and environmental issues, and to engage in charitable action of various forms such as volunteering, donating to charities and signing petitions - Helping charities to get more support for their work - Through our support of these charities, indirectly helping people impacted by social and environmental issues

Consultation with stakeholders

Our key stakeholder groups are the people who use our app and the charities we support. We also think of our volunteers as important stakeholders. In the financial year 2023-24, we ran some limited user research to collect feedback from our app users, particularly focusing on how we could improve their experience with the app and make improvements that would increase their learning and participation in charitable actions & campaigns. This feedback informed our development of a new version of the app which we hope will enhance our ability to benefit the community and our stakeholders. We also ran a volunteer survey to gain insights on how we can best support our volunteers in learning and building their skills.
