The team used various tools, most notably Airtable and Stacker. The Airtable templates are available on the Airtable universe and you are invited to reuse these.

This page also includes some musings on the journey taken to create the system, including some challenges the team faced. It also includes details of some of the other tools and applications we used.
<aside> 💡 **The Powering up programme was ran by Power to Change. During this time a number of tools and processes were developed to support the delivery of the programme. One of the main tools used was Airtable which functioned as the database and CRM for the programme.
This page documents tools that were used to support**
<aside> <img src="/icons/help-alternate_green.svg" alt="/icons/help-alternate_green.svg" width="40px" /> Here we will describe the tools, offering open templates where possible and indicate potential uses and adaptations for other organisations. The hope is that the tools are reused by others, turning the Powering Up Airtable bases and associated add-ons into an open resource for others
