I hope you got some people interested. I generally get blank looks when I mention Steem. Its a great thing you are doing for charity too.
I notice you are in the Midlands area. Were you aware of #Steemcampuk, that was held around 3 weeks in Birmingham by @lloyddavis? Only around 15 of us attended but it was great to meet other like-minded people. I dont know when the next one will be, or if there will be another one.
