About MQ

MQ is a charity funding scientific research into mental health. Its work aims to improve understanding of mental health issues, with digital technology supporting the organisation’s wider activities. Operating with a small team and limited resources, MQ needs to make considered decisions about its technology investments. Its Head of Digital leads the digital strategy, supported by external expertise to develop the platform and deliver projects that meet the charity’s needs.

The Challenge

MQ needed a new technology partner after its existing digital agency closed its development team. Its platform required specialist skills that the charity-focused software providers it approached could not offer. With responsibility for digital strategy resting with one person, MQ needed practical support to assess its roadmap, choose effective delivery approaches and understand the costs involved. The charity wanted a partner who could deliver individual projects reliably, work within its budget and understand the organisation’s purpose and priorities.

Our Solution

One Beyond provided technical oversight and development resources to turn MQ’s roadmap into clearly defined projects. We broke down requirements, recommended delivery approaches and established costs, working with the charity to keep plans within its budget. The partnership typically delivered one or two projects each month, alongside troubleshooting and suggestions for improving efficiency. When requested, we also supported responses to platform security threats and recommended ways to mitigate them. This ongoing relationship gave MQ’s Head of Digital additional expertise and dependable support for project delivery.
