Case studies

GG Care, a company using technology to support people living with dementia with everyday activities using interactive voice reminders.

Venture philanthropy fund The Fore teamed up with Pro Bono Economics on a project to help them measure the collective and individual impact of the non-profits they fund. Working on a pro bono basis, Opencast helped to develop a bespoke data collection survey. Our collaboration successfully delivered a fully functional, cost-effective and GDPR-compliant survey platform in just six weeks.

The Office for Veterans Affairs (OVA) partnered with Opencast in 2024 to make it easier for veterans and their families to find the right support online. Veterans often faced an overwhelming mix of services from government, armed forces networks, charities and other providers. The project streamlined information into a single, accessible place and explored ways for OVA to connect veterans directly with services. The result was a new Finder tool and support guidance, launched on GOV.UK in September 2024, giving veterans a faster, clearer route to the help they need.

HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) urgently needed to provide new digital services to support people and businesses as the Covid pandemic took hold in 2020. Opencast played a significant role in helping it to deliver. 

NHS England engaged Opencast to review the user experience and functionality of the NHS app – with the ultimate objective of driving innovation and wider adoption of the channel. 

The Turing Trust was set up by Alan Turing’s family to honour his legacy. He’s generally regarded as the father of modern computing – but he was also committed to helping others, believing in the power of education in helping people fulfil their potential. The trust’s aim is to ensure that one day every child will be able to enjoy the transformative power of technology that Alan envisaged.
