Bring your community together
Digital infrastructure that intelligently connects people to the communities,
services and opportunities around them.
Your community already has a huge amount to offer.
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.
Support is hard to find
Information is spread across websites, spreadsheets and people's heads. Organisations spend valuable time maintaining information, while people struggle to find what they need.
Organisations work in silos
Different organisations often work towards the same goals, but without a shared picture of what's happening. Opportunities to collaborate are missed, and too much effort is spent working in isolation.
Gaps go unnoticed
When information and support is scattered, it's hard to see the whole picture. Needs keep appearing in strategies and plans, while gaps in provision remain difficult to identify and address.
A Made Open platform joins the dots.
Platforms built to connect people, communities and systems.
Made Open gives communities the tools and connections they need to work better together.
All your community tools in one platform — Listings, events, volunteering, ideas and networking tools in one configurable platform.
Smarter search — Helps people find relevant support and information, even when they're not sure what to look for.
Information people can trust — Self-service tools, automated reminders and quality controls help keep information up to date.
Spaces to collaborate — Dedicated spaces help groups and networks share ideas, coordinate activity and work towards common goals.
Built-in impact measurement — Automated reporting and social value insights help you evaluate performance and impact.
A community network — Social networking and skills sharing help people build relationships, exchange expertise and support one another.
The features that make it possible
You don't need all of these features to get started - each platform is customisable, so you can start small and add more as your community's needs evolve.
