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?

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!

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!

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!

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 😇😊

If you want PlaceCal for your neighbourhood, get in touch, we're looking for partners to pilot with in the new year. Ideally you would know a lot about the groups and people in your area and have strong ties with your local community in general. Curious? Shoot us a DM!
