thinkpublic have released a new clothing range that aims to encourage discussions about public services and to help promote a more proactive relationship with them. ithinkpublic has launched with three unique t-shirt designs, all profits will go back into the public services through a dedicated fund.
The real work experience aims to open design graduates' eyes to the opportunities of using their skills beyond the usual design roles and the possibility of working in the public sector. Concurrently, the programme aims to educate public sector bodies on the skills and value designers can bring to their organisations.
Public service thank you is a movement to encourage appreciation and thanks to all the people doing fabulous things in public service roles. Public Service Thankyou is a space to say thank you to people working in public services, especially those we normally forget.
We all want good public services. When we get them we say thank you. When we're disappointed we should say "wouldn't it be better if...?"
thinkpublic and Ideal Government invite everyone to help design better public services in a new competition called Mind the Gap. It's for designers and for anyone who cares about better public services.
Every two months The Social Lab hosts events to bring together people to share and develop ideas with people wanting to
support them.
Each Lab is themed and we invite people to come who represent a range of experience and expertise from different sectors so our guests benefit from diverse wisdom and perspectives.
The good gym enables fitness enthusiasts to channel their energy towards social good by connecting them elderly immobile people. The project benefits both stakeholder groups by making it easy for them to incorporate new mutually beneficial practices into their lives.
