Frequently asked questions
We're a small charity, no levy. Can we still afford this?
Yes, non-levy charities pay just 5%, with the government funding 95%. You can also receive transferred levy from a corporate partner (we'll help broker).
Will this fit our trustee governance?
Yes, we cover AI governance and trustee-board reporting in L4 explicitly. Apprentices ship paper that fits straight into trustee meetings.
How does this work with GDPR for beneficiary data?
All training uses synthetic data. Real-data projects only run inside your existing data-protection regime, supervised by your DPO.
Can we get a cohort with peer charities?
Yes, we routinely run cohorts that mix 3-5 small charities to hit cohort viability.
Will it support our outcome-reporting to funders?
Strongly, apprentices learn to build outcome-evidence pipelines that make funder reporting easier and more credible.
