Our first UKGovCamp 2026 ( #ukgc26 ) sponsor has paid us the money.

Massive thank you to @dxw.com, long time supporter of @ukgovcamp.com as a positive force for change across the public sector.

This means we can pay the deposit for our crèche provider 🙂

Quick reminder that registration is open for the UK public sector's best unconference (I may be biased) www.ukgovcamp.com

Never heard of unconferences or not sure what to expect? Don't worry, you'll absolutely love it 🙂 www.cattell.com/unconference

I definitely think the #Birmingham canals should be part of the #ukgc26 logo 🙂

Q: What do you think @bhamcitycouncil.bsky.social? 🙂

The UK Gov Camp logo, but the white line in the middle has been changed to look like a canal. The UK Gov Camp logo, but the white line in the middle has been changed to look like the discs on the Selfridges building in Birmingham. The UK Gov Camp logo, but the white line in the middle has been changed to represent something that looks like cogs, representing Birmingham's heritage. The UK Gov Camp logo, but the Birmingham Bull has been pasted over the middle of it.

I don't have any excuse these days but have been glad to sponsor this event when in that world. Show me a volunteer-led event where people come together with open minds about how to do their job better *on a weekend* in any other sector. Kudos to all involved. ❤️

GovCamp is looking for suggestions of solicitors or equivalent organisations who can help put us on a more formal legal footing. We'd like an ideally free initial consultation followed by us paying them to do the paperwork for the new org.

If you have positive recommendations please RSVP.

Thanks!

@ukgovcamp.bsky.social is in a position at the moment where we're looking to put the organisation on a firm legal footing. Before we do that we're looking for a small group of people to help us decide if we want to just do one event a year or potentially branch out into more things.
