A Disciple Case Study
Belina Consulting, a UK-based non-profit running the GRoW back-to-work programme, faced a significant challenge when lockdown halted its in-person community meetings. The programme needed a secure, simple, and private digital space to continue offering learning resources, events, and mutual support, especially for its potentially vulnerable members who could not rely on public social media. They turned to Disciple for a solution.
Using the Disciple platform, Belina Consulting implemented an invitation-only, branded app that consolidated all aspects of the GRoW programme. The solution provided a home for learning content, job bulletins, events, and live-streamed gatherings, successfully recreating the programme's community heart in a digital format. The results were significant: some members increased their usage from monthly to daily, the app helped GRoW win a 2021 Innovation Award, and a remarkable 90% of members kept the app even after successfully returning to work. Disciple enabled the organization to maintain continuity and support its community effectively.
