Local VCSE organisations and volunteer coaches came together for an IDEAS HACKATHON
at the AMEX on 6th June, 2024…
…developing their ideas to reduce homelessness in Brighton & Hove.
The Brighton & Hove Homelessness Fund ran an ideas hackathon event at the AMEX on June 6th to kickstart the first round of applications.
With grants of up to £60,000 (£20,000 per year for three years) available for each successful application.
The event gave an opportunity to:
Collaborate with other sector professionals and creative coaches to think outside the box
Move beyond chasing pots of funding to think and act creatively and innovatively
Develop viable ideas that can evolve and grow, even if you don’t get the funding
This Ideas Hackathon event was a new concept to many of us, bringing together people from different backgrounds, experiences and disciplines. With this in mind we created a Wellbeing Guide to create a friendly accessible safe space for all.
Participants valued the diversity, networking, and mentorship:
“Really stimulating day! Lots of diverse skills and experiences which has generated some exciting well thought out ideas.”
