smartResources

The smartResources web site is in two parts. The first provides a guide to other useful sites for users, unique information, case studies and news that will be of practical use to the users. The second area showcases a number of selected commercial and third sector partners that provide a range of useful goods and services often at special rates for our registered users.

smartResources also runs a number of rolling workshops and meetings to increase awareness of partner opportunities and to better inform users of various sector related issues. The web site is further supported by regular online newsletters and presence at exhibitions and fairs.

Red Ochre has worked on this project with a number of sector umbrella and membership organisations, in particular, Community Action Network, and numerous commercial organisations.

Red Ochre has undertaken the strategy behind the project, evaluated and constructed the technology required, formulated the various commercial and sector partnerships required to launch the initiative, and undertaken the marketing to promote the web site and increase user participation.
