Ask HN: Are you looking for pro bono work? London, UK
We see the Web increasingly becoming a homeless first port of call for information on shelters, day centres, hostels, and available services also to keep in touch with friends and family, Facebook is often mentioned.
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.
We are a team of 11 volunteers from different backgrounds, non-profit, finance, science, media, for instance, I volunteer as a mentor to get people back into work and at a winter night shelter. It's a chance to use your skills.
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 meet the team. We already have UX and design covered, and a sponsor for the first 100 showers, so you are joining a solid team.
