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.

Novaledge is currently working on a pilot project to improve digital literacy for under-privileged children in Africa. They want to start by using Scratch to teach the logic of coding and then perhaps focus on the use of HTML . They also have modules such as 'Digital Art' which they want to use to encourage children to see how technology is linked to Art.
They are seeking volunteers to help create and record educational videos to go compliment the lesson plans they are currently working on. Volunteers would be required to explain simple/introductory technical concepts and record tutorials on how to use Scratch to help the students understand and practice skills learns during the lessons.

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.

Erehwon is an on-going project that explores the design and development of a prototype on-line collaborative platform as a tool for connecting people involved in socio-political interventions, building communities of interest, and enabling and empowering civic engagement in socio-political activities in public spaces. Initially conceived as a tool for mapping socio-political performative projects in Europe and beyond, it became an investigation on the design of cartography-based online tools that provide efficient and usable ways to share and exchange methods, values and practices, beyond spatial territories and physical borders.
The project was created in Django and is looking for volunteers to help finish it off.
