Make a better first impression and work smarter with Microsoft Business Basics
Running a charity means juggling a lot, and your email setup should help you, not hold you back.
If you’re still using a Gmail or Hotmail account for your charity, you’re not alone. They are free and familiar, but they are not always the best fit for growing organisations. A professional email address for your charity, linked to your domain name, gives you more credibility and access to tools that support your day-to-day work.

When you use Microsoft Business Basics for charities, you are getting much more than an inbox. You unlock access to cloud storage, Microsoft Teams, Word, Excel and other essential tools. These help small teams stay connected, work more efficiently and keep everything secure, whether you are working in an office or remotely.
At SOTS, we support UK charities by offering:
- Free setup of a professional charity email address
- A free Microsoft Business Basics licence for eligible organisations
- 10% off all other services including IT support, web design, cyber security and more
A small change like switching to a proper email system can have a big impact on how your charity runs every day. We are here to help you get set up and feel confident in your tech.
