Community Engine
The operating system for technical communities.
Community infrastructure has been fragmented, overpriced, and underbuilt for too long. Community Engine replaces the disconnected stack of tools that organisers depend on today — events, ticketing, speakers, sponsorship, memberships, analytics, and discovery — with one unified platform built from the ground up for communities that want to operate at scale, not just survive.
Core capabilities:
- Event management, RSVP, and conference operations
- Ticketing, QR check-in, and attendee tracking
- CFP and end-to-end speaker management
- Sponsorship engine with package builder, CRM, and ROI dashboards
- Memberships and recurring monetisation
- Community microsites and branded web presence
- Discovery directories for communities, speakers, venues, and partners
Community Switchboard
Discovery and participation for communities and the third sector.
Switchboard helps people, organisations, and institutions find trusted communities and services, with accessibility-first design and local relevance at scale.
Key characteristics:
- Web, chat, voice, and SMS access
- Accessibility-first by design
- Local relevance with global reach

National campaigns
We run a portfolio of civic campaigns operating at the intersection of community infrastructure, digital inclusion, and accessibility — targeting systemic gaps in how underserved communities access support, participate in public life, and find trusted services.
#NoCommunityLeftOffline
Ensuring rural, isolated, and digitally excluded communities can access support and participate online regardless of location, connectivity, or digital confidence.
#DigitalSENDInfrastructure
Campaigning for joined-up digital infrastructure for SEND families — making it easier to find, access, and navigate support across education, health, and social care.
#CommunicationForAll
Addressing the broken communication infrastructure for non-speaking and AAC-dependent individuals, advocating for universal access to communication tools.

Why now
Communities already shape critical social and technical infrastructure, but remain fragmented, hard to discover, and under-supported.
The next decade requires trusted networks built for participation, safety, learning, and long-term resilience.
Community Stack exists to steward that infrastructure responsibly and build systems designed to endure.
Stewardship-led, governance-first.
We build continuity, accountability, and resilience into the systems communities rely on, prioritising long-term ecosystem health over short-term optimisation.
