Amplifying purpose: why we love supporting charities
Introduction
At Studio Republic, our passion for amplifying purpose unites us. We’re hardwired to help causes have greater impact and share a drive to make a difference through our work. Whether we’re project managers, designers or developers, we all come together to be a force for change. This is exactly why working with charities aligns so perfectly with our values.
In this article, we want to share more about who we are and why we love collaborating with charities on digital projects. You’ll get to hear straight from our team about their personal highlights of using their skills for good and the lasting impressions this work has.
So, what makes working with charities so great?
Creating impact and change
We view every new project as a chance to create impact and change. Our work with charities allows us to help them drive real impact through transformative digital. Whether building a website, rebranding, or upgrading UX, we channel our expertise and dedication into surpassing expectations. Our process starts with getting to know each charity’s mission and vision. This is the foundation for everything we do – where each project begins and ends. By keeping their goals at the heart of our work, we can deliver empowering solutions that amplify their purpose.
Making a meaningful difference
Our partnerships with charities across sectors allows us to make a meaningful difference to a range of causes. Knowing our work can affect real change is the ultimate energiser for our team. No two projects are ever alike, so every process is tailored to our clients’ unique needs. As you’ll see from our teams’ highlights, we’ve had the privilege of working on an array of projects with some truly inspiring, and varied, charities such as Transport For All and the Ellen MacArthur Cancer Trust. By collaborating with purpose-driven organisations, our work transcends business to create positive change.
Working with passionate changemakers
Lastly, it goes without saying that all of our charity clients are so passionate and dedicated to their work. This passion is infectious and we love being able to share that excitement as we work on projects with them. Working with changemakers also motivates us to deliver thoughtful solutions that enhance their digital projects and support their mission. This gives us a never-ending source of inspiration to continually develop and put our skills to the test to support causes that really matter.
What’s more, we are driven by our aim to amplify the purpose of the charities which we are fortunate to work with. The diversity of these organisations and their unique missions ensures that no two days are alike at Studio Republic, and we’re always learning about new ways to make a difference. We feel privileged to contribute, even in a modest way, to the meaningful impact each charity strives to make and love working collaboratively with a community of people spearheading real change.
A few of the team's highlights
“For me, my highlight has to be working with Transport for All. They offered us the time, freedom and creativity to deliver a great product. I also really enjoyed working with The McPin Foundation, they were so responsive and trusting in our process.”
Christina
Project Manager
“My favourite, and most challenging, project of the year was Children with Cancer UK. As a Dad, reading the stories of the children CWCUK have helped was both heartbreaking and inspirational. I had an immediate emotional connection with the project and felt a duty to put a lot of myself into the work as they deserved a brand which delivered on the incredible work they were doing.”
Paul
Brand Lead
“My personal favourite project from 2023 was with the Galapagos Conservation Trust. I am very invested in their cause, especially having visited the Galapagos myself! Being able to help them by refining their identity with a focus on web application was awesome.”
Silvia
Digital Designer
“My favourite project this year has been our work with Transport for All. It stands out because it highlights the power of user-centred design, the detail of our process and the huge importance of accessible design. I'm excited to continue developing the site next year, as we gather insight on how users are interacting with it post-launch!”
