Throughout the last few months we have become aware of the tireless work of frontline workers all over the world. While we are figuring out working from home and getting into the exciting challenge of online events, so many brave and brilliant folk have been doing all they can to keep services running and help those most in need.

We are delighted to announce that our SofaConf attendees raised £1500 in donations that we split between these brilliant charities:

Help BSUH Fight Covid-19 is raising funds to make sure NHS Staff at our local hospitals in Brighton and Hove have the extra resources and support they need to fight coronavirus whilst remaining healthy, energised and well-rested.

The National Emergency Trust is coordinating funding for grassroots and community organisations across the UK who are providing support and care to those who need it most during the COVID crisis.

The Coronavirus Relief Fund is working tirelessly across the world to help stop the virus's spread and give communities on the front lines of the crisis the resources they need to act quickly and protect the most vulnerable.

We'd like to extend a message of thanks from the charities for all the donations to help them continue their much needed work.
