Founders & Coders is a UK based cooperative running tuition-free coding programmes in London, Nazareth and Gaza. We are holding an open call for participants for our pro-bono Tech For Better programme, which uses digital technology to create a positive social impact. By pairing our tech skills with the great ideas of other socially-minded organisations or individuals, we can improve the use of digital technology in the not-for-profit sector while giving our coders in London and Gaza a chance to work together and gain experience.
The organisations we choose to work with are matched with a team of our web developers who work closely with them to identify a real-world problem and then develop an interactive app that provides a creative solution.
Past projects include Breathe With Me, an app that helps to reduce anxiety and promote wellbeing, produced for Anna Freud Centre, and a platform for The Courtauld Institute of Art, which was built to enhance the experience of their volunteers.

6 years ago @VirtualDOMinic Breathe With Me was developed for CAMHS, not the Anna Freud Center

6 years ago @sima-qian genuinely really appreciate the detail checking! CAMHS is an umbrella term under which Anna Freud Centre falls, so in this context, AFC and CAMHS are interchangeable

6 years ago to develop web apps to create positive social impact
I'd suggest changing this to "to develop web apps that create positive social impact to avoid using "to" too many times. Still comes in at 276 chars I think.
