Overview:

Beyond finance and meetings, a council runs on dozens of small jobs — booking a hall, inspecting a play area, managing allotment waiting lists, keeping resident records straight, and staying in touch. GovSuite is a set of council-built apps that handle exactly these tasks, all connected through Microsoft 365.

This session tours the apps, shows them in action, and helps you spot the everyday admin your council could stop doing by hand.

What You’ll Cover: 

• CRM for councils — keeping resident and contact records in one reliable place
• Email marketing for councils — reaching residents and members with newsletters and updates
• Allotments — managing plots, waiting lists, and renewals without the spreadsheet juggle
• Inspections — recording play-area, tree, and site inspections from your phone
• Bookings — taking and managing hall, pitch, and facility bookings
• One connected suite — all built for councils and joined up through Microsoft 365

Real Council Scenarios:

1. Your allotment waiting list lives in a spreadsheet only one person understands, and renewals are a yearly headache.
2. Play-area and site inspections are recorded on paper and typed up later, if at all.
3. Hall and pitch bookings come in by phone, email, and in person, and double bookings still happen.
4. Resident contact details are scattered across inboxes and old lists, and you can’t easily reach the right people.
5. You want to send a proper newsletter to residents but don’t have a simple, compliant way to do it.

Who Should Attend:

Ideal for clerks, officers, and administrators handling the day-to-day running of a council — bookings, inspections, allotments, resident contact, and communications. Useful whether you want one app or the whole suite.

What to Expect:

• Format: 60-minute live online webinar
• Includes: Live demonstration, practical examples, and Q&A
• Cost: Free to attend
