Empowering positive social change through technology solutions
We are a collective of technology and digital specialists on a mission to empower and elevate the capabilities of charities, campaigners, and changemakers, to bring about positive change.
Thanks to Poteris, we’ve been able to take our impact to the next level. Their support has ranged from strategic guidance to the co-design, build and successful launch of our award-winning platform for schools. They understand our charity’s purpose and vision, and continue to work closely with us to help narrow the disadvantage gap in education.

Our areas of work
Technology for charities, changemakers, and campaigners.
Inviting non-profits to access support under our Tech Canopy
Our broad range of experience can support your busy and dedicated team to understand your technology needs, strategic approaches to your challenges, deliver one off tech solutions, and work with you in the long term to support your digital and technology needs.
Projects and products developed to create change.
As part of our mission to empower and elevate the capabilities of charities, campaigners, and changemakers, we’re working on a growing set of AI powered tools to bring about positive change.
Expertise
Driving positive change through technology
Our holistic approach delivers services and technology driven solutions that meet people, where and when they need to access them.
Charities
Building tech that benefits society is hugely important to us. We’ve been trustees, volunteers, and organisers ourselves, so we know what it’s like: from funding requirements to data security, we’ve been there. We can support help you explore your needs and recommend a number of digital tools, solutions, and services, that we have experience with and are offered to charities for free or at minimal cost.
Education
We’ve designed, built and supported tech solutions for primary and secondary school settings in the UK, working with teachers and parents to be as effective and impactful as possible. This has given us a good understanding of the needs of users in those settings as well as the challenges and sensitivities involved when working with schools.
Economic injustice
It’s too easy to build tech solutions that widen the disadvantage gap, making it easier for those who already have access to get further ahead. Our work has involved breaking down barriers that leave people behind.
Democracy
We’ve partnered with others to develop technology to increase access to democratic activities. We understand the power of access to information in democratic activity and bring our collective experiences of local and national progressive political campaigns to the solutions we build.
The people
Combining passion and technical expertise to deliver real impact.
Our diverse team bring a wide range of experience, skills, and expertise in developing high quality impactful technology for charities, campaigners, and changemakers.
Peyman Owladi
Peyman, a software engineer with extensive experience in various technology solutions (G Suite, WordPress, Hubspot, Cloudflare, etc.), founded Poteris. His goal was to unite talented technologists to create impactful solutions, implementing lean and agile practices within the team.
Bobi Robson
Bobi, a digital strategist, excels at identifying simple interventions for improving the bigger picture. She takes an iterative, human-focused approach to digital transformation, building confidence and skills alongside technical solutions. Before Poteris, Bobi spent five years developing digital skills and capacity-strengthening programs for non-profits.
