On the surface of it it seems simple: tech and maker types have skills they enjoy using, and community groups have unmet needs that could be helped by these skills. Why then does it feel so incredibly hard to make these collaborations happen in reality?

🪐Enter... The Trans Dimension! 🚀

Geeks for Social Change are thrilled to to announce The Trans Dimension, an online community hub which will connect trans communities across the UK by collating news, events and services by and for trans people in one easy-to-reach place.

[Geeks for Social Change @gfscstudio]

Do you use Facebook events heavily for promoting events? Would you like a simple way to sync them to an iCal file? Well... @PrincenAlice has been working hard on a solution.

We're not quite ready for full release yet but get in touch if you can help us test it!

*taps mic*

Hello everyone. After a long hiatus in funding hell, we are BACK thanks to a generous grant from @LankellyChase.

We are currently planning a relaunch in March. If you have any interest in PlaceCal we'll be taking meetings again in Jan to talk about it.

See u soon!

[PlaceCal @PlaceCal]

However, despite our enormous on the ground success, we're really struggling to convince funders, who very often don't understand the on the ground situation, that we have something truly innovative here. So if you have any advice on that angle then we are all ears! Thanks 😇😊

[PlaceCal @PlaceCal]

We're currently figuring out what's next for PlaceCal as a tool for mutual aid group coordination. We're looking for (a) local community partnerships and (b) national health and wellbeing charities for the next step of our journey. Drop us a DM/email if you wanna have a chat!

[PlaceCal @PlaceCal]

As it stands we are a multi-award winning, open source project with a groundbreaking methodology and a co-ownership model, proven to work and co-produced with older people in one of the most disadvantaged areas in the country.

[PlaceCal @PlaceCal]

Apologies for lack of updates here, as a platform that encourages face-to-face interactions between older people we've been hit very hard by Covid-19 (as you might expect!). Announcement forthcoming when we get back on our feet.
