Building better communities
Even in a more connected world, many people are isolated at home, disconnected from their families and communities, or excluded from opportunities to contribute. It doesn't have to be this way.
At Made Open, we believe that when people are better connected, entire communities and systems benefit.
We're the community infrastructure that makes this possible.

Our values
Collaborative
We work with people, not just for them.
We listen, co-design and work alongside communities and organisations to create things that make sense in the real world.
Community-centred
We start with people and what matters to them.
We design for the whole community, especially people who can be overlooked, excluded or poorly served by mainstream services.
Creative
We find better ways to tackle difficult problems.
We combine strategy, design and technology to turn complex challenges into simple, practical things people can actually use.
Empowering
We want to help people create change themselves.
We provide the tools, connections, software and know-how to help communities and organisations come together, take action and create change.
Ethical
We always put purpose before profit.
We're a self-funded Certified B Corp, so we can make decisions based on what creates lasting value for people and the planet.
We genuinely care
Purpose before profit
We're here to strengthen communities and the organisations that support them. As a purpose-driven business, we reinvest our profits in developing better ways to help people connect, contribute and create change.
Independent by design
We're self-funded and don't have outside investors telling us what to build or where to go next. We co-design our software with the people who use it, so we're free to focus on what actually matters.
Proven in the real world
Our platforms are already being used by communities and organisations across the UK and beyond, helping people find support, contribute their time, connect with others and create measurable social value.
