Our work / Charity web platform
TimeOut Recovery
A gambling-harm recovery service needed one website that behaved like three local services, took referrals safely, and could be run by non-technical staff in each region. We built it in Django and host it under a signed processor agreement.

The brief
Calm, local and safe to ask for help.
TimeOut supports people affected by gambling in Nottingham, Nottinghamshire and North Lincolnshire, and the professionals who refer to them. Each area has its own team, phone number, logo and colour, but the charity did not want three websites to maintain.
The people arriving on the site are often in a bad place. The brief was explicit: nothing shaming, nothing that feels like a form to be processed by, and never a captcha wall between someone and help.
- Three themed regional sections driven from one configuration: logo, palette, contact details, service offer and local news feed per area.
- A referral form that routes to the right regional inbox by environment variable, sets reply-to to the referrer and falls back safely so a typo can never send a referral nowhere. If email fails, the visitor sees the phone number, not an error.
- Invisible anti-spam: a hidden honeypot, a minimum completion timer and Cloudflare Turnstile. No puzzles for people asking for help.
- A resource library with search, category and region filters, publish flags and a bulk import command for the charity's existing documents.
- News with rich text, image galleries, attachments and lazy-loaded YouTube embeds, plus a rebranded set of illustrations.
- Role-scoped admin: regional editors only see and publish their own region, content managers see everything. A plain-English help page lives inside the admin.
- Immediate-support block (National Gambling Helpline, GamCare, Samaritans) on key pages, reduced-motion support and focus-visible styling throughout.
Under the bonnet
Django, PostgreSQL, Cloudflare, and paperwork that matches.
Django 6 on PostgreSQL, media on Cloudflare R2, Turnstile for bot checks and self-hosted Umami analytics so no consent banner is needed for stats. HSTS, secure cookies and a www-to-apex redirect are in code, not in someone's memory.
Deployment is a push to GitHub. A webhook on our server pulls, runs Django's deploy checks and rolls back if they fail. A signed data processing agreement names Double Impact as controller and LMC Tech as processor, with a 14-day log retention and a sub-processor list.

What it shows
- Multi-tenant thinking without multi-tenant cost: one codebase, three services.
- Forms designed for vulnerable users, not for the convenience of the admin.
- GDPR handled as a deliverable: DPA, retention, cookie policy, accessibility.
- Non-technical staff publish their own content, safely scoped to their region.
