Knowledge sharing and supporting fellow charity retailers
Our community is about more than the technology
We’re delighted that over 50 charities have chosen to join the Wil-U community. For us, it’s more than providing you with advanced technology that makes your life easier. That’s why each month, we host a town hall where our community comes together to talk about what it means to be a charity retailer.
Be a part of the community
We know that running a charity shop operation can be difficult and sometimes complicated. Luckily, the charity retail world is one of a kind who always come together to help each other succeed. In our monthly meetings, we do just that. The community talks about wins, losses, best practice and how we can all operate more efficiently to be successful.
Shape your solution
There are plenty of solutions out there that are bloated with features. A lot of the time, you really don’t need them! If you become a member of the Wil-U family, you get a say in what features go into your solution. We take every suggestion on board, discuss it with you and, if most of the community will benefit, we implement it.
A unique tap of knowledge
We’re really proud of the community we are building with Wil-U. Being part of our community means having a wealth of knowledge on hand when you need it. Not sure how to process Gift Aid on rag? Someone in our community does! Having problems with unreliable volunteers? You’re not the only one. Dreaming of a solution that actually does what you want it to? Join the Wil-U community and have your say!
