Practical digital checks for charities
Is your charity's online presence safe?
We check the things that can quietly go wrong — like your website address expiring, or scammers being able to send emails that look like they're from you.
Nothing to install
Just enter your website address. We do the rest.
Made for charities
Run a one-time check for free. Regular monitoring from just £3 per month.
No technical knowledge needed
We turn technical settings into plain-English guidance you can act on.
Run a free check
Enter your charity's website and email. We'll send you a link to view your report.
Want ongoing peace of mind?
Sign up for weekly check-ins. We'll re-run your checks automatically and email you if anything needs attention.

What we check
These are the things that can quietly cause problems for charities. We explain each one in plain English — no tech jargon.
Shallow checks are included in the free plan and scan important pages on your website.
Deep checks scan your entire website, and run in more detail.
Website address renewal
Make sure your charity won't unexpectedly lose its website or email by keeping track of your domain name expiry dates.
Fake email protection
Could a scammer send emails that look like they're from your charity? We check if you're protected.
Secure connection check
Check whether your site's security certificate is valid and up to date. Modern browsers will warn visitors if your site is not secure.
Email reputation monitoring
Your email reputation is crucial for building trust with your donors and volunteers. We monitor that your email reputation is healthy.
Search engine visibility
We make sure your website has the configuration necessary for search engines to see your latest content.
Cookie banner
UK law requires cookie consent. We check your site has a compliant cookie banner that allows users to manage preferences.
Broken link checker
We check for broken links on your website. The shallow check scans key pages; upgrade to a paid plan for a deep scan of your whole site.
Website speed testing
If your website is slow, many visitors won't wait for it to load. The shallow check tests your homepage; upgrade for a deep scan of all pages.
Accessibility check
Around 1 in 5 people in the UK have a disability. We check for common barriers that may prevent them using your website.
Cookie audit
We perform a comprehensive audit of all cookies on your website and verify they're documented in your privacy policy.
Charity registration display
UK charities must display their registration number on their website. We verify yours is visible and matches the official register.
Hosting platform
Identifies the hosting provider and platform used for your website to help with continuity planning.
Proactive monitoring with fair pricing
Based on your charity's annual revenue. Smaller charities pay less.

Common questions
Straightforward answers, no jargon.
How can I get started? ⌄
Do I need to be technical to understand the report? ⌄
Is this safe? Will you access our systems? ⌄
What's the difference between the free check and paid plans? ⌄
Paid plans add ongoing monitoring — we'll automatically re-run your checks (weekly or daily, depending on your plan) and email you if anything changes or needs attention.
You can see all your historical checks by logging into your account, set how frequently you want emails notifications, add colleagues, and more. You also get Deep checks, which provide more detailed information - for example, we'll scan every page on your website for broken links, SEO issues, and more.
How do I cancel a paid plan? ⌄
Who runs Charity Tools? ⌄
We built Charity Tools specifically for charities because we understand you're busy and don't have time for complicated IT tools — and we've worked with charities before, and we understand how critical it is to have functioning websites and email systems.
What if I don't know how to fix something in the report? ⌄
We can also help you fix any issues you encounter — we charge £50 per hour for our support services and most issues can be resolved within an hour or two.
