How long have you been using Charitylog?

We’ve been using the full client version of Charitylog since August 2019.

Did your team receive training on how to use it?

Yes, we received comprehensive training at the start.

What do you mainly use Charitylog for?

We mainly use it for recording contact with clients, volunteers, relatives/carers and organisations. We’ve set up different referrals for the various services we offer.

We also run reports and export lists for mail merging for our newsletter.

"Charitylog is a useful and powerful tool and we would recommend it to organisations who need a comprehensive database. It has been very helpful for our organisation."
