In his talk, GraceAid co-founder Andreas Papazidis, will refer to some very important technology currently available called blockchain. He will explore questions such as what is blockchain? What is open source? How do we use it in real life? How can someone use it for the causes we work and care for?

GRACE is a small but growing charity based at 18 Leegate, Lee Green, south-east London. They collect donations of clothing, furniture, food and other essential supplies from the local community to sort, pack by item & re-distribute for refugees and destitute families both locally and abroad. They network with other established charities and regional groups to share information and work together, collaborating to support refugees in France, Greece and the Balkans.
