Forgood is a central hub for individuals, groups and causes that describes itself as a social market place where skills, goods, services and information can easily be offered and asked for.
Their latest project is for Nelson Mandela Day on 18 July. “We have been assisting the causes on our site to gather specific, real-time needs for the month of July and put all of those requests into a customised search engine. This allows individuals and businesses to browse for activities in their area, field of expertise or interest and enables them to do something great on 18 July,” says Hadfield.
