Launching in Edinburgh & the Lothians
CommunityHero connects people who want to help with communities that need it. Whether you're volunteering solo, rallying your mates, or bringing your whole company, find opportunities near you and show up.
How it works in practice
Here's how a typical match plays out on CommunityHero. No jargon, just people finding each other.
A local trust wants to turn an overgrown patch into a wild garden, but it's a bigger job than their small team can handle. They post the opportunity on CommunityHero.
She's been meaning to do something for the community. The garden project is a 10-minute walk from home. She signs up on the spot and adds her partner. Party of two.
One of the members shares the listing in the group chat. They create "The Meadows Runners" crew on CommunityHero, six people join, and their crew leader applies for the team.
The CSR manager at a nearby business has been looking for exactly this. She applies on behalf of her team of 12 who have been asking about volunteering days.
Sarah and her partner. The Meadows Runners crew. Twelve people from the local company. Different paths, same Saturday morning, same garden. Beds cleared, wildflowers planted, insect hotels built. That's CommunityHero.
From people who were there
"We thought it would be a nice team building day out. But honestly, seeing the garden come to life and knowing it'll be there for years? That's something an escape room can't give you.
"We'd been trying to get volunteers for months through other channels. Within a week of posting here, we had our first company signed up. The platform just works.
