Tesco - Charitable Trust - Outsourced Grants Administration

Tesco Charitable Trust wished to outsource the administration supporting its Community Awards grants programme, streamline the processes and facilitate reporting

CCWorks introduced the Trust to the Benefactor grants software programme and recommended that the paper-based application procedure should be converted to an online process. CCWorks worked with the Trust and Benefactor to ensure a smooth changeover of systems, launching the new online procedure within twelve weeks of go-ahead from the Trust.

Outcomes
One year into the new process:

CCWorks is managing the Community Awards programme as a complete outsourced service, handling all e-mail and telephone enquiries through a dedicated helpline and producing reports as required.
The Trust has also handed over the administration of other donations programmes to CCWorks.
Tesco plc now uses the Benefactor software and CCWorks’ administration support services, to administer the new Community Champions programme.
Reports are now able to be produced across all Tesco community programmes.
"I would definitely recommend CCWorks. I am delighted with the service and their extensive experience of running volunteering programmes "

"We chose to work with CCWorks rather than one of the large volunteering consultancies as we believed they could deliver our pilot, were flexible in their approach and client-focused. Working with them was a great experience and they delivered in all areas"
