Ask HN: Are you looking for pro bono work? London, UK

3 pointsby 3etoalmost 10 years ago
There are a few threads here asking about pro bono work, would you be interested in helping us offer free showers for the homeless?<p>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.<p>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.<p>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&#x27;s a chance to use your skills.<p>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.<p>Please reach me at beto@sillyideas.co.uk

&quot;silly ideas is the portfolio of a brazilian advertising creative.<p>a really silly idea would be to make an integrated campaign out of a digital thought, so don’t be silly.&quot;<p>So tell us more about your agency&#x27;s involvement in this. Is this a play for free publicity?
