The problem
Families eligible for early-years, maternity, nutrition, and vaccination support often don't know it exists, or hit friction trying to access it — and the services themselves rarely have a joined-up view of who needs help.
What we're looking for
Tools that connect families to the early-years support they're entitled to, or that help services spot who's falling through the gaps.
Who should come
Open to everyone, whatever your background or experience level — you don't need a health, data, or technical background to take part. We're deliberately bringing together a wide mix of people to pitch and build ideas together, including midwives and health visitors, parents and carers, designers, students, and developers, and anyone else curious enough to get stuck in. No team, no idea, and no experience necessary — teams form on the day, so come solo or bring friends.
