We’re looking for someone who can patiently explain how video calls work. An hour of practice together can make a real difference.

Features for caring neighbourhoods

Make help visible.
And lending a hand easier.

Not everyone knows where to find help or how to contribute. Give requests, skills and local organisations a shared home.

Smart matching, personal coordination

From “who can help?”
to the right connection.

Technology helps bring requests and offers together. Human contact makes the match meaningful.

  1. 01

    Understand the request.

    What is needed, where and when? A clear request makes it easier to understand what commitment is involved.

    ExampleDigital support · Nearby · Tuesday afternoon

    Find suitable support.

    AI matching suggests connections based on factors including proximity, help category, interests and availability.

    Coordinate personally.

    Support the contact where needed, agree on arrangements and track progress. Manual support remains possible too.

Who is Hoplr for in social services?

For local authorities, social care organisations, community workers and volunteer teams that want to connect local support. Professionals can have a recognisable presence in the neighbourhood network, share requests and help residents find suitable support or meaningful volunteering opportunities.

How does Hoplr help match volunteers with requests for help?

Assisted AI matching suggests connections based on factors such as proximity, type of help, interests and availability. A professional can support the connection and coordinate arrangements. Suggestions support contact; personal follow-up remains important.

What is Hoplr’s local services directory?

The local services directory brings together organisations, associations, volunteers and neighbourhood initiatives. Residents and professionals get an overview of nearby support and activities. The directory connects local services with the neighbourhood network.

What insights can we get into our volunteering activities?

You can track help requests, matches and recorded hours, and discuss recurring needs. These data support reporting and adjustments. They show activity and engagement, but do not by themselves provide a complete measure of social impact.
