West End Events win our £500 prize draw
West End Events, a community group from London that use our fiscal hosting service, were the lucky winners of a £500 donation to their Open Collective page for providing us with their feedback.
The community group were absolutely made up about winning the competition. Anita from West End Events said that the money would go towards an Easter egg hunt and picnic.

Community Spotlight
Trans Aid Cymru (TAC) started as a local mutual aid group in Cardiff in 2020, and they have since created a thriving network to help transgender, intersex and non-binary (TIN) people in Wales.
They’ve helped TIN people at risk of homelessness, loneliness and mental crisis and provided access to funds, resources and support for those who’ve been discriminated against.
We absolutely love supporting TAC, so we went on a trip to meet them and find out more.
Events
