About Neighbourly

We exist to make the world more Neighbourly. Because global change starts locally.

Neighbourly was founded in 2014 with a mission to put local impact at the heart of responsible business. From its grassroots beginnings, the Neighbourly platform has transformed into a leader in community giving through years of innovation in programme design and impact measurement and reporting.

What we do

Neighbourly is an award-winning giving platform that helps businesses make a positive impact in their communities by donating volunteer time, funds and surplus products to local charities and good causes. We take the uncertainty out of doing good by matching what resources are available to where they are needed the most. So far, the Neighbourly platform has facilitated over £2.2 billion of impact into local communities across the UK and Ireland, with a further goal to deliver £10 billion of positive impact by 2030.

Reinventing corporate giving

We understand what it means to be a responsible business, including the challenges. Through Neighbourly, businesses can plan, manage, scale and report on their community programmes, all in one place. By centralising social and environmental impact analysis, the platform allows businesses to generate stories about local impact to share with stakeholders – building reputation, fostering trust and embedding purpose. Our platform is ISO27001 certified, meaning we hold the highest security standards for administering and maintaining information security management systems.

Supporting a nationwide network of local good causes

We know that small charities and good causes are intrinsically linked to a thriving and healthy community. They form the backbone of our local and national resilience, solving critical problems in our neighbourhoods and providing vital services. Locals know local needs. Our network includes over 45,000 fully vetted charities, community groups, CICs and schools around the UK & Ireland, from food banks to community centres to hospices. Using our platform is entirely free for these organisations so they can benefit fully from the resources on offer.

The Good Business Charter

In 2020 Neighbourly joined a community of forward-thinking companies in signing up to the Good Business Charter, an accreditation that seeks to raise the bar on business practices for employees, tax, the environment, customers and suppliers. This accreditation means we are part of a network of organisations that offer some of the highest standards of employment rights and social responsibility. We’re proud to stand alongside them in encouraging more organisations to adopt better practices as set out by the charter.

Building communities

Local causes are highly trusted and are in a unique position to address specific social issues and support wellbeing, creating an invisible yet powerful social infrastructure.

Creating trust

Authentic action builds trust. When we take action - big or small - we become part of the community, and we are rewarded with support from those around us.

Using business as a force for good

We believe the interests of our planet and our communities must have equal influence over business decisions as those of shareholders and investors.
