IT for social care.

This is an idea. People who are good at IT volunteer to write accountability web sites to show how councils spend money. Councils nowadays have to publish each payment over £500 or so, and they do. On their web sites. Did you know? No. So there's a need to find nifty ways to present this data for free to anyone who wants to see it, on free web servers, using free developers as I think these people are called.

This is the reward: developers put ads next to the data from qadabra or buysellads or google, and the money earned goes into a trust fund for whatever these developers think is nice. It would probably only earn £20 or so and need a lot of compound interest in P2P lending sites before worth more.

I come in to this thinking of a top-up percentage towards the social care budget of a council. Mine is Richmond on Thames and their web link is at the end of this list.
