Caerna

Let's Solve Charity Governance. Together.

Are you a charity leader, trustee, or governance professional? I'm currently developing Caerna, a new platform to simplify board management and risk for UK charities, and I need your expertise. I'm looking to speak with people like you to help me build a tool that solves real-world problems.

Do These Challenges Sound Familiar?

Is This the Reality of Your Board Meetings?

Good governance is essential, but the day-to-day reality is often a struggle with outdated tools and processes. I believe we can do better. I'm aiming to solve challenges like:

Scattered Information: Key documents, risk registers, and meeting actions are spread across countless emails, Word docs, and personal drives, making it impossible to get a clear picture.
Trustee Engagement: Highly-skilled trustees get bogged down in administrative tasks, preventing them from focusing their expertise on strategic leadership.
Demonstrating Compliance: Proving to the Charity Commission and funders that you're managing risk effectively feels more like a burden than a benefit.

A genuine opportunity to influence the features of a tool built specifically for our sector.

A Mission Born from Experience

My name is Ricki and I'm not a typical tech founder. Having worked in governance, risk, and compliance roles within the charity sector for over a decade, and as a charity trustee, I’ve seen the challenges firsthand. I know how critically important good governance is for a charity's success and sustainability, but I also know how time-intensive and stressful the administration can be.I believe that the right tools can free charities from this administrative burden and empower them to focus on what truly matters. That's why I'm building Caerna. But I can't do it alone. I need to learn from your experiences to ensure what I build is truly fit-for-purpose. I hope you'll join me in this conversation.
