Buengo
Charity marketplace app Buengo has been nominated as best national digital solution for the UK in the World Summit Awards (WSA): a global initiative celebrating digital innovation positively impacting society. Buengo allows users to give back and do good in a range of ways. Items are bought and sold with all proceeds from sales donated to a good cause of the seller’s choice. Causes and charities can use the app to crowdfund, which users then donate items to. In addition, recently added features let users buy virtual items, give away items as well as browse volunteering opportunities and then get in touch with the cause or charity to sign up.
