Welcome to Charity IT Leaders
The home of the digital technology community in the charity and NFP sector
Membership of CITL means you're never alone with a tech challenge
The CITL community is constantly growing, and is a vibrant, expert, welcoming group. Our member networks in Teams and WhatsApp mean you're part of a community of skilled, experienced and committed people who are wrestling with the same challenges, and opportunities, as you.
When a platform or service has gone down, our network will share information, fixes and solutions.
When you need a supplier recommendation, our network will be able to give you firsthand information about their suppliers and partners.
When you’re looking for a new solution, platform, product or service, our network will be able to suggest and recommend.
Whatever you need, whether you’re dealing with a crisis, looking for inspiration, or just in need of support from people who get it, the CITL community will deliver.
We support our unique network and its members to unlock the potential of technology within their organisations and we provide opportunities for networking, knowledge sharing, and professional development.
Our community is welcoming to professionals at every level within tech, digital and adjacent specialisms in the voluntary sector, and we are committed to increasing inclusion and accessibility for professionals from diverse backgrounds and those with disabilities and additional support needs.
For all our communities
What we do
Empowering Leaders
Leadership isn't a job title. Leadership isn't about managing people.
Leadership happens at all levels of an organisation, and is about uplifting, engaging and inspiring people. It's about creating an environment where people thrive and can flourish, and where everyone can achieve their full potential.
Whatever your career aspirations, leadership should be part of your professional plan, and our network helps the leaders of today to be the best they can be, and builds the brightest and best leaders of tomorrow.
Connecting Leaders
We help our members connect and engage with their peers, building effective networks and supportive professional relationships.
We help broker connections and facilitate conversations and meetings.
We also create opportunities to meet with suppliers who share our goals, and can help you deliver the best outcomes for your organisation.
Whatever level you're at in your organisation, and whatever your career goals, our community can help you build the networks you need, find your crowd and build your own support group.
Informing Leaders
We offer a carefully curated range of events and content, designed to support and inform our members.
Our annual conference, webinars, roundtables, and partner-events are supported by our Teams and WhatsApp channels, and facilitate conversations and networking.
Our Thrive Leadership Programme and Resource Hub provide vital training, development and information, helping all our members to capitalise on the latest technological developments, protect their organisations from cyber security threats, and ensure that technology enables their organisations to have an even greater impact.

What our members say
Don't just take our word for it - our members recommend us too.
Since I joined Charity IT Leaders back in 2019, I've felt blessed to be part of a supportive, expert and engaged community that I and my team can learn from as we move through our digital journey at Cats Protection. I've found the community, warm, welcoming and willing to help at every twist and turn of the way, and my thanks go out to the CITL community, management team and Trustees for all their support over the years.

The Donkey Sanctuary
Charity IT Leaders is a welcoming and supportive environment in which I have found reassurance that I’m not alone in the professional challenges that I have faced. I have found ideas, solutions and laughs from this enthusiastic group of IT leaders from varied backgrounds.

Membership of Charity IT Leaders gives me and my team unparalleled access to a supportive, engaged and expert community which enables us to learn from peers and improve IT and digital performance at Guide Dogs.
Dan HallDirector of IT
It is never more important to have a good network of peers to call upon when the chips are down or you need some variety and insight to enthuse you. Charity IT Leaders has given me that network and I am always grateful for the shared understanding, insight and spark it gives me.
