Favourhood is a platform for neighbourhoods and communities to connect, look after one another, and be stronger, together. Whether you are looking for help or willing to lend a hand, in just a few simple steps you'll be connecting with people around you!
How Favourhood Works
Help with picking up items from the store. Whether an online delivery or a local shop - team up with your neighbours to ease the load and stay safe.
Ask your neighbours if you're looking for a mask yourself or perhaps for a local group or office. As we start getting out and about more, masks will be important!
If you need help getting your pet more exercise or any other pet-related tasks, reach out to a neighbour who may be happy to help!
Is that pesky gadget giving you trouble? Reach out for some help, a neighbour might know of a good fix or be able to help you get back on track.
Stay connected by chatting or having a call with a local neighbour. Whether it's over the phone or a socially-distanced chat, find somone near you who you can reach out to...
Reach out to your local neighbours if you need assistance with a bike tuneup, repair or related help. That bike guru in your neighboorhood might like to lend a hand!
Need help with a heavy package or a delivery to the local post office or another drop off point? Ask a neighbour for a hand.
Don't see what you need (or can help with) on the list? Just enter it in for neighbours to see.

Whether you are looking for help or willing to lend a hand, in just a few simple steps you'll be connecting with people around you!
We created this app during a time of COVID-19, social distancing, and an increased awarness that we are better together, as equal and caring members of our communities and neighbourhoods. It's a labor of love, and any donations are appreciated and go directly into paying the expenses and fees of running an app platform like this at scale.
Using the App
If you have a family member or friend that lives far away, Favourhood is a great tool to help reach out to neighbours that can help. For those older adults who need to shelter-in-place or manage their exposure sensitively - try registering with their address (not yours), connect with their neighbours, and find someone that can help out!
Frequently Asked Questions
We've just launched the Favourhood App, and it's very likely you could be the first in your neighbourhood. If that's the case - spread the word and share Favourhood with your neighbours, help them get onboard, and start connecting!
The other issue may be that there are no 'matches' - which means no one is providing the 'favour' you are looking for, and vice versa - if you're willing to help out, there may not be anyone that's currently looking for that type of help. No worries - just keep trying, connecting, and sharing - the app will do the rest!
Absolutely, yes! That's a big reason why we created the app. Simply put in your parent address, and you can then 'manage' your connections in their neighbourhood from the app. It's a great way to help from afar, and connect with helpful and caring neighbours near them.
The best way to add new favours is to use the 'Other' category. Simply select it from the list and then type in whatever you are willing to help out with OR what you are looking for. The app will help make connections and match people looking for, and people providing, that same favour.
No. At the moment, Favourhood has been built for neighbourhood connections only. For kind neighbours, helping each other in a small radius that is limited to around 1/2 mile from your address. Could that include a small business? Yes. As long as that neighbourhood shop is providing a valuable service and a helping hand, we're in support of it!
