Lily-Pad
A little time can make a difference
About Lily-Pad
Lily-Pad is run by Phill, helping charities and community groups in Stamford and the surrounding area make confident choices about their IT.
Why I started Lily-Pad
I started Lily-Pad after seeing schools and charities spend limited funds on IT that didn’t meet their needs.
My aim is to help local groups get the technology they need, understand how to use it and make the most of their budgets. I take time to explain the options clearly, so you can make confident choices.
How I can help
You might need a second opinion before buying a laptop, an explanation of a setting or a demonstration of how to do something. Advice can be a one-off conversation or continue as technical questions arise.
I focus on helping you understand and do things for yourselves. I fit Lily-Pad around a full-time job and family life, so I’m unable to take on routine administration, data entry or day-to-day work for your organisation.
I’m based in Northborough and can help remotely or arrange a visit, depending on what you need. I aim to reply within seven days.
Free advice and project support
Advice and guidance are free, whether you have a one-off question or come back for help over time.
For longer-term projects that need me to do the hands-on work, I also offer paid support through Lily-Pad. We’ll discuss what’s involved and agree the charges before work begins.
Hosting, software and equipment may have their own costs. Donations towards the voluntary work are welcome, but never expected.
Let’s talk about what you need
You don’t need a technical brief. Tell me a little about your organisation and where you could use a hand.
