Hack for Good, the sequel, is happening during Mental Health Awareness Week 2019 – May 17th. Teams will be given briefs supplied by charities, that follow the weeks theme of body image, how we think and feel about our bodies.

What is a hack day?

A hack day is an opportunity for developers, designers, any kind of makers, to get together and block out a day of time to make something from scratch, no strings attached.

Hack for Good 2019 falls during Mental Health Awareness Week so our hacking teams will be working to solve a problem faced by mental health charities, mental health services, or to support people with their mental health and well-being.

When is it?

Friday the 17th of May. The day will kick off bright and early to make sure we’ve got enough time to create something awesome. To ensure we’ve got enough space to work, we’ll be using The Loft in central Winchester, a beautiful space that’s perfect for sparking creativity.

Who is involved?

This year we’ve got even more agencies involved. We’ll have some of the brightest minds from the top agencies in the South all donating their time to solve the problems of the day.

Why we’re doing this

As an ethical digital agency we're always looking for ways that we can create for good in the world. Having a go at a problem is always a challenge. Trying to deliver several months’ worth of work in a day is surely attempting the impossible? What a hack does though, is deliver a prototype solution that invites additional questions for further investment and development. We love to encourage our charity friends and fellow creatives to push themselves in innovation, we love to socialise and have fun. Putting those two things together in the form of a Hack for Good was a no-brainer for us.
