Small encounters.
A big difference.

Helping each other

“Neighbours can help each other by giving away things that would otherwise be thrown away. Lending tools, such as a ladder. I've already helped a neighbour get her garden ready for winter. She is 72 and really couldn't do it any more. That's how you help the people around you. I couldn't have done that without Hoplr.”

Getting to know neighbours

“So far I simply find it an asset for the neighbourhood, and I've already been in touch with people I wouldn't otherwise have found. So I'm very happy with it.”

Finding what was lost

“We joined the platform because we heard that a message about our youngest son's cuddly toy had appeared on Hoplr. He had lost it. Through Hoplr (and other social media) we found it again. Many thanks for this.”

Help from the neighbourhood

“I've had a very positive experience: I had been looking for an electrician for some small jobs that others don't want to come out for, and I found someone through Hoplr. I also know a bit more about activities in the neighbourhood now, which is really nice.”

Borrowing and sharing

“I think it's a really nice thing. The day after I signed up, I was already able to borrow a ladder just around the corner. It's nice to get back in touch this way with people I only know from a distance or haven't seen in a long time. I already borrowed and lent things through Peerby, but it's much handier when it can happen close by.”

Following neighbourhood life

“I think it's a really nice tool. I look at my neighbours differently when I'm outside now. And all those activities are handy. That calendar comes in useful.”
