The winner of our Tech4Good competition is the amazing Bristol-based Marmalade Trust. They shone through the competition as they used technology to reach out to their community, connect with people and spread the word about loneliness. Most importantly, they showed some exciting plans for 2020 and demonstrated how much they would benefit from the Tech for Good prizes.
Who are they?
Marmalade Trust is a Bristol-based charity dedicated to recognising loneliness across society and helping people to make new friendships. Their vision is to “To create a society where people freely acknowledge that loneliness can exist, and will actively support those experiencing it to increase their social contact and make new friendships.”
Some of their key events include loneliness awareness week held in June and their Christmas day event where they support over 150 people who would otherwise be alone to come together on Christmas day to enjoy a Christmas meal.
