Orange Do Some Good

Orange’s Do Some Good app is helping Groundwork create a map of Britains best loved Urban Oases.

Wouldn’t it be great if – wherever you were – you could tap into local knowledge to find hidden oases and get recommendations from the people that know them best? Thanks to Orange that’s exactly what Groundwork will be creating – all that’s needed now is a little help from you.

We know hundreds of you have been using Community Spaces funding to create your own green open spaces. And now is the time to make them shine! Simply download the app to your iPhone and upload a picture of your project site. Don’t forget to include a comment and mention Community Spaces fund!

To help out all you need is an iPhone, 5 minutes and the free Do Some Good app. For more information about Do Some Good, click here. To find out more about Mobile Volunteering, click here.
