Young Carers Hackathon

[Adrian Slatcher]

Hi

I attended a University of Manchester hackathon yesterday around Big Data and was asked if I could share information about a challenge around developing new applications to help Young Carers.

The Young Carers Hackathon takes place next Thursday 31st July at Greenheys at MSP.
