Leading LGBT+ youth charity chooses Practice365

Mermaids a leading charity supporting trans, non-binary and gender diverse young people and their families, has partnered with iatro to deliver a new digital platform.

The project has involved migrating Mermaids existing website to iatros award winning patient experience platform, reviewing the underlying platform to meet modern web standards, improving security and uplifting accessibility support in the process.

The website is a key component to a number of services Mermaids deliver, so it was crucial the migration could take place without any downtime or operational impact on the organisation.

This upgrade will greatly enhance the experience of our service users by ensuring we provide a safe, secure, and accessible platform that takes into consideration the needs of the children, young people and families who most need our support.”

“Having witnessed the impact of the work Mermaids do, we knew they needed a platform that could keep up with irregular traffic patterns and support the charities ambitions to the fullest extent. I’m thrilled that we’ve been able to apply our expertise and make a difference.”
