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?

🪐Enter... The Trans Dimension! 🚀
Geeks for Social Change are thrilled to to announce The Trans Dimension, an online community hub which will connect trans communities across the UK by collating news, events and services by and for trans people in one easy-to-reach place.
ALT Promo artwork for The Trans Dimension. It's an illustration of outer space. The foreground has five figures of a range of ages, genders and abilities waving trans flags and reading books. The background has trans-shaped constellations, space worms, rockets, nebulas and planets.

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!

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!
