• Attention to detail
• Comfortable communicating with need raisers and suppliers over phone and email

[link removed] has recently gained official charity status, and for now is entirely staffed by volunteers. This volunteer position is entirely mouldable to your own living and working situation, and we'd love to hear from you, and how this might work for you.

[link removed] harnesses the power of live, open data, to connect people in crisis with the resources they need. Currently, [link removed] is working hard to connect UK frontline healthcare workers with the PPE they lack, to aid in the Covid-19 crisis.

By collecting, visualising and analysing data from suppliers & people in need, we show political and procurement bodies a more effective, more efficient and more human way of meeting needs in a time of crisis.
