Pimp My Cause connects marketers, researchers, and innovators who wish to volunteer to good causes in need of innovative solutions. The organisation has successfully matchmade over 1,300 charities and volunteers since its inception in 2011.
WHFNP volunteers are tackling a website rebuild project for this charity to modernise the technology stack and improve the site's user experience. Using Python, Django and Heroku the end goal is to leave Pimp My Cause with a slick new website that is robust, sustainable, and capable of supporting the growth in its membership expected over the next few years.

Susan Graham was inspired to create Jaspal's Voice after her sister contracted Motor Neurone Disease and subsequently lost her voice to the disease. Jaspal's Voice aims to collate and review communication devices for those suffering from MND, by providing a catalogue of devices with user-generated reviews and tips.
Volunteers built the first version of the Jaspal's Voice website in a few short weeks, using Java, the Play framework, and Amazon Web Services. The team has also been hard at work on an Android app (soon to be launched) that will provide an easy means of communication and education for people afflicted with or interested in learning more about the disease.

We recently completed an overhaul of our original website in line with our rebrand, using modern tools and standards to create an engaging and responsive user experience.
We are currently working on powering it by a custom CMS and as a future phase, integrate it with an API that provides data surrounding our volunteers and non-profits.

This is volunteer idea to create a web app that will display and allow searching of curated cafes places that are team friendly to go and spend some time hacking together on a project.
The user can come to the website and search bases on London postcode/locations to find a curated list of cafes matching that criteria. The cafes should be shown on a map as well. Each cafe will be handpicked and “features” ranked like wifi signal, how great is the coffee/food and space etc.
