Born from the merger of two Bowel Research charities – Bowel Disease Research Foundation and Bowel & Cancer Research – Bowel Research UK is committed to radically changing the outlook for people living with bowel disease, through vital patient-centred research.

IE worked with the charity throughout the process of stakeholder research, renaming and rebranding. The result is a bigger, stronger, united brand identity dedicated to ending bowel cancer and bowel disease. A new WordPress site provides a home for funding applications, donations, and information on bowel cancer and bowel disease.

Read Easy UK is a national charity that recruits, trains and supports volunteer reading coaches. These coaches give one-to-one tuition to adults who struggle with reading – a hidden problem affecting millions of people.

Read Easy was about to gain a significant PR boost, thanks to a charity appeal with Richard Madeley on BBC Radio 4. To capitalise on this, the charity needed a top-notch, accessible website to support its goals to increase donations and recruit volunteers.

With the launch date set and a massive uptick in web traffic expected in the short term, testing and resilience were crucial.

Young Enterprise (YE) is the UK’s leading enterprise and financial education charity, reaching over 315,000 young people every year. They make the connection between school and the world of work by helping young people to build key skills. They merged with financial education charity pfeg (now Young Money) in 2014, continuing to operate two separate websites, before appointing IE Digital – a long-standing partner of both charities – to bring the two together.

IE Digital developed a single, intuitive new website that would be more efficient for staff to maintain through a single CMS. It needed to feature improved user journeys for their key audiences of teachers/careers advisors (primary and secondary schools, colleges, universities etc.) and investors (e.g. corporates, major donors, trusts and ambassadors). Additional users to consider ranged from YE alumni and volunteers, to the media and Government stakeholders.

Built in WordPress, the highly flexible site is based around a module-builder style functionality, to allow YE to create a wide variety of pages, while keeping everything consistently on brand. We followed a highly collaborative design process to take into account the specific needs of the client. The site integrates with ProgressCRM to facilitate subscriber-only access to lesson plans and CPD training materials for educators. Meanwhile, we introduced clearer calls to action and an intuitive donation path for investors, to improve conversion rates.

The result is a modern, vibrant site to communicate the charity’s mission, work, overall impact, and individual success stories.

Clergy Support Trust helps Anglican clergy and their families in times of need. They offer grants and wellbeing support to members of the clergy (including ordinands and retired clergy), as well as their dependants and partners – whether married, separated or widowed. 

IE renamed and rebranded the charity from 'Sons & Friends of the Clergy' to Clergy Support Trust, creating a new visual identity and bringing it to life online through a new Drupal 8 website. Our research showed that the ability for users to check if they are eligible for financial support would be a great addition to the website. We built an 'Eligibility Checker' tool, available from the home page, which allows beneficiaries to quickly and discreetly explore their eligibility, removing some of the barriers to asking for help.

The St Vincent de Paul Society, SVP, turns concern into action by visiting & befriending over 80,000 lonely and isolated people each year in England and Wales, providing practical assistance to anyone in need.

When the consultants at IE Digital first met SVP to talk about what they needed from their new website, we were struck by the number of great stories they had. Letters of thanks and from their beneficiaries, and great examples of the enormous impact that's made by SVP's 10,000 volunteer members. But these success stories weren't evident on the old SVP website.  For the new website, IE put these stories front and centre, to show SVP's members, staff, supporters and help seekers all the great work the befriending charity brings to the communities it serves.

We looked at the user journeys and created a user experience to help SVP recruit volunteers, attract donations and help more people.

CPAS  is a charity that exists to help people discover the good news of Jesus through local church ministries. Ventures are fun-filled holidays for children and young people, while subsidised Falcons holidays are designed for children who face disadvantages in their daily lives. With the help of volunteer leaders, they can all enjoy a range of activities and explore life with Jesus – making friends and memories that will last a lifetime.

IE's relationship with CPAS spans over a decade and we've delivered dozens of digital and brand projects in that time. Most recently, we redeveloped both the main CPAS website and the Ventures & Falcons holidays website, including a fundraising and CRM integration. 

For over 50 years, Agapé UK has been inspiring people to discover Jesus together, at home, at work, at university, and abroad. As the UK arm of an international Christian charity, active in over 190 countries, they're bringing people together and transforming lives.

IE originally worked with Agapé back in the 90s, when we were first founded. We're delighted to have rekindled that relationship to rebrand the charity and create a modern new website.
