Online membership database

Girls' Brigade England Wales

The Girls Brigade England and Wales have moved their membership database online, reducing workload at the HQ and enabling their staff to work more efficiently.

We moved the organisation's legacy data into the new online database and gave GBEW leaders secure access to keep their details up to date and complete the annual census.

White October have provided us a great one stop service for the review and renewal of our membership database. We would certainly use them again for other projects in the future as the communication systems put in place to achieve the project were excellent. Sue Cutting, Executive Director - GBEW

Additional Information

Like many organisations the Girls Brigade England and Wales (GBEW) had relied upon old Access databases that had grown organically over the years. While in some circumstances these can be sufficient, in others, like for the GBEW, the result was messy and ultimately led to a loss of confidence in the data.

A new, clean user interface and robust underlying database gives GBEW their confidence back to use the data to its full potential.

The database structure was rethought, taking into account its evolution over the previous years, to give a database that supports the organisation's needs now, and into the future.
