A Private Help Platform for Your Group and Its Members

Provide a secure, invite-only way for your members to request help and your volunteers to respond — without social media, public posts, or complex admin.

What Is Are You A Good Neighbour?

Are You A Good Neighbour is a platform for local groups, such as councils, churches, housing associations, and community organisations.

Groups use the platform to organise volunteer help for their own members in a private, controlled, and structured way.

We do not provide help, care, or volunteers. We provide the platform that groups use.

How It Works for Groups

Steps

1. Your group subscribes to the platform for £375 per year

2. You invite your members and volunteers to join for free

3. Members submit private help requests

4. Each request is shared only with:

   One nearby volunteer who has said they can help with that task
   (Optionally) your group administrator

5. Volunteers choose whether to respond

6. All arrangements are made directly between members and volunteers
   

Requests are never posted publicly and are not visible to other members.

  What the Platform Does Not Do

  1. Does not provide care or emergency services
     

  2. Does not vet, assign, or supervise volunteers
     

  3. Does not guarantee that help will be available
     

  4. Does not replace professional services

If your group would benefit from a private, managed way to organise volunteer help for your members, we’d be happy to talk.

We know that running a local group often means balancing community needs with administration, coordination, and constant communication. The Good Neighbour Network is designed to take the pressure off — bringing requests, volunteers, and messaging into one secure, private system. This reduces the time spent juggling tools and tasks, and helps your group work more smoothly, sustainably, and confidently.
