We build healthier and better connected communities through
user-centred design and intelligent community platforms.
The people, organisations and services that make a community work are already there. What's frequently missing is the thread between them. The result? Support is hard to find. Organisations work in silos. Gaps go unnoticed.
This wastes time and money, and affects people's health and wellbeing too. Help that could have made a difference remains out of reach.
We can help you join the dots.
Better connected communities start with understanding what they need, then bringing people, services and technology together to make it happen.
We design with communities, not for them, helping you understand what needs to change and turning that understanding into practical action.

News, blogs and platform updates from our team and communities.
Community life can be complicated. There are lots of people, organisations, activities and opportunities around us, but finding the right ones isn't always easy. We’re evolving Made Open to make that simpler, bringing together search, browsing and recommendations to help people find what they need, explore what’s available and discover things they didn’t know existed.
October is here. The summer holidays are behind us, autumn routines are settling in and people are looking for ways to stay active, connected and supported as the days get shorter. For community organisations and local networks, it's a good time to promote autumn activities, share useful information and encourage more people to get involved.
