Ask HN: Pro bono work needed to offer free showers for the homeless

There are a few threads here asking about pro bono work, and I’m developing a project in London, UK to offer a free hot shower and clean towel for the homeless.

We are a team of 11 volunteers, with a sponsor for the first 100 showers to test our system, so I’m looking for help.

If you’d like to help, it’d be great if you could join our next meeting 9th July in Soho to discuss the project as a whole and be a part of it. We already have UX and design covered.

What we need? If you are homeless, a website so you can find us, and see where the showers are. If you are a donor, a payment gateway and real time visualisation of our finances, see where every penny is going.

Ideally, you’d have an interest in homelessness and keen to go meet some folks to understand how they use tech and what we can do to make our system work best for them. Can we reply to a text message with the nearest shower?
