Incorporated societies, charities and social enterprises
Community organisations face the same legal, financial and operational expectations as a business, usually without the staff budget.
XEL Group works alongside charities, incorporated societies and social enterprises to handle the digital, operational and governance functions that keep everything running, on an ongoing basis or for a specific piece of work.
Digital workplace
Good digital infrastructure shouldn’t need a full-time IT person. We manage your systems on an ongoing basis, or help you get a specific platform or integration working, at a scale and cost that suits community organisations.
Managed services
We manage your systems on an ongoing basis (devices, platforms, website) so your team can get on with the work instead of chasing IT problems.
Systems integration
Most organisations end up with systems that don’t talk to each other. We connect them, cut admin time and duplication, and keep things working as your needs change.
Development
When nothing off the shelf fits, we build something that does: practical digital tools designed around how your organisation works.
Networking
We set up and maintain your network, with reliable and secure connectivity for your office, remote team and volunteers.
Productivity suites
We manage your Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace setup end to end, keeping things current, onboarding new people, and handling migrations when the time comes.
AI
We help community organisations use AI practically: working out where it helps, setting the right policies, and managing the risks.
Operations support
Staff and volunteers can only stretch so far. We take care of the operational and administrative work that keeps your organisation running, ongoing or for a specific project, so your team can focus on their mission.
Financial administration
We handle financial admin and reporting on an ongoing basis, keeping records accurate, meeting obligations, and giving your board and funders the numbers they need.
Website management
We keep your website maintained and up to date, so it accurately reflects your organisation.
Process improvement
We look at how your organisation actually operates, find where time and resource are being wasted, and help you fix it.
Training
We run practical training for staff and volunteers built around your actual systems and workflows, so the capability stays in your team.
Health and safety
We set up and maintain your health and safety framework (documentation, processes and compliance), sized to your organisation and your duty of care to your people.
Project management
When you’re delivering something new or managing a significant change, we provide the project management to get it done, keeping things on track and reporting back to your board.
Governance and organisational management
Good governance keeps your organisation credible, compliant and trusted by members and the public. We support boards with the governance functions they’re responsible for, either on an ongoing basis or for a specific review or compliance need.
Compliance
We track and manage your obligations under the Incorporated Societies Act, Charities Act, and relevant employment and privacy legislation, so your board doesn’t have to chase them.
Policy management
We develop and maintain your policy suite, making sure it reflects your obligations, your values and how you operate.
Strategic planning
We help facilitate your strategic and annual planning, providing the structure and documentation that turns discussion into a plan your organisation can work from.
Board operations
We support your board meeting cycle on an ongoing basis (agendas, papers, minutes, action tracking) and make sure your processes meet your constitution and the law.
Financial governance
We support your board and finance committee with oversight, budgets, audit coordination and the financial reporting you need to meet your responsibilities and keep funders informed.
Risk management
We maintain an up-to-date risk framework, identifying, assessing and tracking risks so your board can make informed decisions.
