About Us

We are a passionate group of students from the University of Glasgow. Together, we're harnessing creativity and knowledge to shape a brighter future.

Our journey began with a shared curiosity and a willingness to explore uncharted territories. Over the course of this project, we've experienced both triumphs and setbacks, but through it all, we've grown as individuals and as a cohesive team.

We've learned that the path to success is rarely linear, but it is in the challenges that we find the greatest opportunities for growth.

  • Collaborative Innovation: Harnessing diverse perspectives for creative solutions.

  • Inspiring Future Leaders: Fostering positive change and impact.

Harnessing diverse perspectives for creative solutions, we are resilient problem-solvers, overcoming challenges with determination. Our mission is to inspire future leaders, fostering positive change and leaving a lasting impact.

Context: Embarking on a Journey of Innovation with Barclays

We are proud to collaborate with Barclays, an institution rooted in history since 1690 and renowned for groundbreaking innovations. They introduced the UK's first credit card, contactless payments, and the world's first ATM, managing total assets exceeding £1,500 billion. Operating in 39 countries with a global workforce of around 81,000 people, Barclays embodies a commitment to progress. Barclays fuels innovation through a network of 19 Eagle Labs across the UK. These labs foster collaboration, networking, and valuable learning opportunities for individuals and businesses. Notably, the latest Eagle lab is situated within Barclays's flagship Glasgow campus, launched in October 2021, with a strong focus on sustainability and inclusivity.

Problem: Unlocking the Power of Giving

In our pursuit to address the noble endeavor of charitable giving, we confront the dilemmas individuals often face - selecting the right causes and determining donation amounts and frequency. Proudly partnering with Barclays, we envision the revolutionary Auto Donate app. Visualise effortlessly donating £50 a month, with contributions aligned to causes close to your heart. This innovative app intuitively directs your support based on spending habits and interests, ensuring a meaningful and far-reaching impact. Gratitude abounds as you receive heartfelt thank-you notes and stay informed about your generosity's difference. Our transformative journey is underway, and we're delighted to have you aboard. Together with Barclays, we strive to craft an app that empowers generosity and simplifies giving for all. Let's shape a future where boundless positive impact begins with you. Welcome to our journey of change.
