ClerksWell Hackathon 2025 - The Umbraco 17 Charity Challenge

The ClerksWell Hackathon 2025 is happening!

Join us in Shoreditch on Friday 28th November for a high-energy, one-day event packed with creativity, collaboration and cause-driven coding.

We’re teaming up with 2 UK charities, Headway and Restore Hope to build digital solutions that make a real difference in people's lives.

Whether you're a seasoned developer or a creative problem-solver, this is your moment to shine! You’ll team up with brilliant minds, build something truly meaningful and pitch your solution in a live showdown to win over our panel of judges.

Prizes worth up to £10,000, including Codegarden tickets and Expert Certifications, await the winning teams!

The Challenge

Developers will work in teams of 2, so grab a teammate, get them to sign up as well and get ready to build something meaningful.

For Headway: The Brain Injury Charity

Challenge goal: help survivors communicate their condition and access personalised support anytime, anywhere.

For Restore Hope: Supporting Families in Crisis

Challenge goal: Empower families to access affordable good with dignity and track engagement through a digital system.

We’ve timed our hackathon to be just one day after the official launch of Umbraco 17, to celebrate and support the latest evolution of the platform. Use Umbraco 17 however you want in your solution and be among the first to innovate with its powerful new features (get creative with your use of Umbraco 17)

Full brief details will be shared 1 week before the event.

Sign up now to secure your place as spaces are limited and likely to run out fast.

Expect a day full of big ideas, great people, live pitches, epic prizes, and yes — plenty of snacks and drinks to keep the energy flowing.

It’s going to be fast-paced, inspiring and enjoyable for all.

We can’t wait to see what you’ll create on the day. Let’s #HackTheCause together.
