Off the back of previous research, Hetco Design are developing some open source tools that will help small and medium charities to use geospatial data in their work. Do get in touch with them if you are interested in taking part in user research / testing!

Are you interested in starting to use or make better use of geo data for your UK based charity? We'd like to understand your experiences & opinions. Fill in this form if you'd like to participate; your org will receive £250 if selected buff.ly/3vYiZPK

We commissioned a rapid research project to develop a new mapping tool Hetco Design has come up with 3 ideas Help us decide which one has the most potential to support the UK social sector to derive value from mapping Vote, comment & share far and wide! data-collective.org.uk/2021/04/06/map…

.Hetco Design have prototyped a new mapping tool - hetco.io/community-lens/ - which analyses data against the IMD. Have a go at using it & if you have an interesting use case, let them know via this form - forms.gle/8QtU1e4ThFBMF8…. Selected charities will receive £75.

Exciting update on our mapping work... we have a prototype from Hetco Design which analyses your data against the IMD! Try it here: hetco.io/community-lens/ And if you have a use case that you can share with us, you can get £75 ☺️ forms.gle/8QtU1e4ThFBMF8…

The DataCollectiveUK asked charities what they needed to help them make more use of geospatial data...and then made it! Check it out 👉🏾hetco.io/community-lens/

This will be so useful for so many charities! Hetco Design asked UK charities about their geospatial challenges and made a tool to help solve them. Enter postcodes and visualise IMD data. They're looking for feedback & requests for other datasets to add so give it a whirl.

How have other charities used maps to further their missions? 🗺️ Find out about examples like CroydonVA’s Food Support Map and @PHE_uk’s Local Health tool 🌡️ There’s something for everyone in Michael Jang’s open list of tools!

A modern framework that can be used 2 better articulate job descriptions, filter & select candidates, identify team gaps/training & facilitate performance reviews. A few hard decisions and you will be much happier for it! w Esmée Tijsterman & Kenny Meesters blog.veritythink.com/post/653507301…

We have been working hard the last year on R&D at Pattern Project. From building our own clothes cutting machine, testing augment reality and creating algorithms for custom fit clothing. A great write up from Future Fashion Factory what we have done and where we want to go.

🚨 New research published by Wellcome on software tools for modelling the relationship between climate & infectious diseases. Here’s a thread of the key findings from the research 🧵 👇 #ClimateChangesHealth hetco.io/tools-for-clim…

Calling UK fashion brands and factories! 📣 Pattern Project is piloting Made-to-Order, Micro-MOQ production in their South London micro-factory this Aug/Sep 2022! Hit up instagram.com/patternproject… via DM before 15th July to join the pilot. Book a FREE demo at: calendly.com/hetcodesign/mi…

At Pattern Project we have been developing a hardware and software pipeline to make Made to order on demand manufacturing fast and easy. In this article we explore the possibilities this opens up for designers and brands pattern-project.com/post/exploring…

Is it important for the fashion industry to find a new sustainable manufacturing model. Distributed Made-to-Order, Micro-MOQ production offers a new approach. #sustainablefashion #garmentmanufacturing pattern-project.com/post/distribut…

Common operational datasets (CODs) are an agreed humanitarian standard used to align data for population statistics & admin boundaries. We have created an automatic preview of these datasets on #HDX for faster insight. Check out the #Afghanistan preview: data.humdata.org/dataset/cod-ps…

Today we are launching the HDX Humanitarian API (HAPI), a way to access standardised indicators from multiple sources to automate workflows and visualisations. Our beta version covers 44 indicators across 25 locations. Learn more: data.humdata.org/hapi
