Teamsites
Appeal to your local communities with an effective online presence
Whether your charity consists of branches, support groups, fundraising volunteers, or campaigners, Teamsites provides a simple but polished online presence for your local community groups.
What is Teamsites?
At Access, we recognise the crucial role that local volunteer groups play in their communities and their charity’s engagement.
That’s why we’re introducing Teamsites – a solution that provides charities with a professional, easy-to-create online presence for local groups. These dedicated webpages provide your local volunteers with the ability to have their own online presence whilst you are safe in the knowledge that they look professional.
Whether you're a large charity with multiple branches or a small organisation with a simple website, Teamsites offers a scalable solution to meet your needs.
What benefits can Teamsites provide?
Teamsites is entirely volunteer-friendly and requires no specialist training. You and your volunteers can be up and running in no time. It can also be updated at any time, making sure that information is always relevant for your local communities.
Enhanced local engagement
This is at the heart of Teamsites. These pages are entirely focused on providing information that is relevant to local communities. This is made possible through:
- Tailored messaging: Your content can be customised to reflect local issues, events, and community needs – making it more relevant and engaging to your target audience.
- Empower and develop your volunteers: Reward your volunteers with mutual trust, providing them with the ability to manage their pages in a way that will resonate with their community.
Safe and direct communication
Teamsites integrates directly with the inbuilt message centre of Access Assemble. Through the optional ‘Contact Us’ button, visitors to the Teamsite can send a message directly to your local volunteer team through the message centre, maintaining the security and safety of your volunteers.
Minimise effort and costs
Maximise your local impact without using your staff resources by empowering trusted volunteers to manage local content. This can allow you to:
- Grow and develop your volunteers, increasing their responsibility and autonomy with a new volunteer Teamsite editor role.
- Empower local managers, helping them grow and engage their local communities.
- Deliver a web presence for all of your local groups without any of the IT or hosting costs.
