Supporting every need starts with community action

The Heads Up digital platform gives local authorities an easy way to reach trusted volunteers that want to improve people’s lives by supporting them with simple tasks.

Local. Flexible. Connected. 

Volunteers connected to community organisations complete straightforward tasks that work around their schedule.

While funded services will always be required for complex cases, Heads Up uses existing infrastructure to tackle the everyday needs that social care budgets rarely stretch to.

With community support in place, Heads Up helps to prevent or slow down crises and reduce the pressure on taxpayer-funded services.
