Our mission
- There are already loads of people in our community trying to help others. They know what needs to be done, and they’re getting on with it. But they need help too! Some of them need money. Others need volunteers, or expert advice.
- There are lots of others who’d like to help.
But they don’t know where to start. - We wanted to create a curated, reliable, toolkit that empowers everyone to build a thriving, prosperous future for us all. This is the first step. We hope it helps.
- Want to learn how to build a strong local community? It’s in here.
- Want tools? Here’s where you get them.
- Have a look, and tell us what you think.

Welcome
We are a small group of volunteers dedicated to helping our local community and making the world a better place. We don’t get paid for what we do. So, although we do our best to check the links and resources on our site, sometimes they can be out of date. If you notice something doesn’t look right, please contact us and let us know. Or if you can spare the time, join us and help out! Even just half an hour a week, or an hour a month, would be a great help. (At this stage we are just looking for you to donate your time! Coming soon: a way to donate money to help us keep this going.)
