I’m delighted to announce funding to 11 diverse and fantastic teams from @MayorofLondon’s Designing London's Recovery Programme. London needs design-led inclusive #innovations to support its #recovery from the pandemic. https://t.co/2vXWGoe9hz #ValueofDesign#SystemsThinking
.@hetcodesign have prototyped a new mapping tool - https://t.co/HFJNdThFXQ - which analyses data against the IMD. Have a go at using it & if you have an interesting use case, let them know via this form - https://t.co/n9GoQqmp0a. Selected charities will receive £75.
We commissioned a rapid research project to develop a new mapping tool
@hetcodesign has come up with 3 ideas
Help us decide which one has the most potential to support the UK social sector to derive value from mapping
