GMYF is a youth charity that supports young people between the ages of 8 and 18, helping to improve the lives of young people through celebrating and delivering activities. GMYF enable young people to thrive and achieve their full potential, regardless of background or circumstance.
GMYFs journey with Connectus began through Joanne Hawkins, whose longstanding relationship and successful collaborations with Connectus across multiple businesses provided a level of confidence in their expertise and commitment. This trusted introduction set the stage for a partnership built on experience, reliability, and shared values.
The Issue
At GMYF, safeguarding sensitive personal data is a top priority. With teams spread across multiple centres in Manchester, it’s essential not only to protect this information but also to empower staff to communicate swiftly and seamlessly. Balancing robust data security with efficient collaboration was a critical need for the organisation, along with the ability to be able to communicate swiftly and collaboratively.
The Solution
Connectus provides GMYF with Microsoft 365, end-user support, remote meeting audio-visual capabilities and robust and proactive cyber security controls, including ongoing awareness training and development of all of their staff.
The Results
Partnering with Connectus has truly transformed their operations. They now benefit from a robust, purpose-built solution that not only delivers outstanding value for money but is also intuitive and effortless for their team to use. GMYF said, “What sets Connectus apart is their genuine investment in our success; they’ve become more than a provider; they’re a trusted partner. Since implementing their services, our organisation’s security posture has strengthened significantly.” Their staff are now far more aware of cyber threats and have complete confidence that their IT works reliably and seamlessly so that they can focus on what matters most: supporting young people to achieve their full potential.
