Who are we?

Welcome to This Is My Village!

We're on a mission to bring back that "people know each other and care about their community" feeling by building a space where everyone can have a real voice.

However big or small your city, town or village might be, we believe it can have that real community feel and we're working to help make that happen.

Built Differently, by Design

We aren't your typical tech company. This Is My Village is a Community Interest Company (CIC). As a Social Enterprise, our legal structure ensures that your interests always come before profits.

Because we are a CIC, our success is your success. Income we generate is reinvested directly back into the community.

These funds allow us to:

Run and continue to develop the platform, keeping your data safe

Provide services like identity verification, newsletters and useful notifications

Stay independent and make sure that we never have to compromise our values

Support local projects — We aim to provide community grants in the future to help local initiatives flourish

Community ecosystem — local impact and reinvestment

Transparent local feeds — no black-box algorithms

Real Connections, Real Impact

Our platform is a safe, inclusive space to share ideas, discuss local issues, and support the amazing independent businesses that keep our high streets alive.

We've stripped away the things that make modern social media exhausting:

No endless global noise: We focus exclusively on what's happening on your doorstep

Open to everyone: There's no need to sign up to see news, offers and events

Built for authenticity: We verify identities so you can trust you're talking to real local people and businesses

No "black box" algorithms: You see what matters to your neighbourhood, not what a computer thinks will keep you scrolling

Join the Movement

Ultimately, This Is My Village isn't just another app. It is a self-sustaining engine designed to help our local communities thrive and grow together.

Let's build a stronger neighbourhood, one conversation at a time.
