What others are saying about Huddle:
 
The Web of Hope is a non profit organisation helping people to achieve sustainable living, whether as individuals, as part of a local community or a business. Even though they are a small charity their staff are spread far and wide (Manchester, Worcester, Bath, London and Sri Lanka) with external partnerships with people in numerous different countries.

Huddle has helped the charity with work together more easily. Using it with both internal and external clients and colleagues the largest benefit was streamlining the organisation’s work by using Huddle as the focal point for all document storage and communication therefore instantly improving team work and productivity.

“We primarily use Huddle as a data storage/sharing facility and have successfully used it following a big event we held in the Maldives where we uploaded all of the minutes, keynote speeches, attendee contact list and photos for all of the attendees to view,” said Tilly Jarvis.

Right to Sight’s mission is to eradicate the global crisis of preventable blindness through the use of proven, leading edge techniques in cost recovery, training and surgical practice. As a charity working all over the world they need one central secure place for all project executives and managers to keep documents and manage their countries projects.

The internal use of Huddle has successfully done this by “bringing our team from all around the world to one place” said Rosie Kennedy, Administrator, Right to Sight. She continued: “This is possible because of the streamlined communication of documents, ideas and plans no matter what country you are in, be it in Africa or India the information is easily accessible when required.”

Huddle Foundation:
 
The Huddle Foundation scheme has been set up to donate Huddle packages to qualifying registered charities and offer great discounts on full professional packages to larger or ineligible organisations as well as those who wish to benefit further from wider online collaboration.
 
The donated package is great for smaller, eligible organisations who have a network of volunteers, teams or stakeholders to connect, or who wish to improve communication and information sharing. A single manager can start and administer up to ten workspaces or projects to share files, start discussions or hold meetings. The donated package can be a good entry point to ensure the organisation gets the most benefit from online collaboration.

The discounted professional package is great for larger organisations who have a varied network of global offices, disparate teams and users working on multiple projects in different locations. It is also perfect for any size of organisation (or those ineligible for the donation scheme) who need larger storage capacity, multiple managers and personal training, support and advice. With a fully branded interface, the Professional package enables a truly global intranet, extranet or project management portal.
 
Would the Discounted Professional package work better for me?

On top of all the standard features, the Discounted Professional package offers:
