The latest 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.

If you're considering a new community platform (or reviewing how the one you have is working), we can help you understand what your community really needs. Our recommendations are organised around five key themes that provide a shared direction for everyone involved.
Aligning partners around a shared vision for your platform and the outcomes it aims to achieve.
Connecting communities and organisations, shaped by their needs and insights.
Exploring how partners can share responsibility for maintaining and improving the platform.
Using shared measures and insights to understand impact
and guide decisions.
Shaping the platform to reflect what your community already has and what it could be.
Across the UK and beyond.
Powerful features and flexible admin controls. Create a branded platform perfectly tailored to your community's needs — now and in the future.
You don't need all of these features to get started — they're fully customisable, so you can add more as your community's needs evolve.
Directories, events, volunteering and support in one place. Fully integrated and built around your community.
AI-powered search that understands people, places and needs, so users find the right support quickly.
Groups, networks and communities of practice connecting, collaborating and supporting each other.
A proven timebanking system that helps communities and professionals exchange skills, build trust and unlock real value.
Monthly reporting and social value insights that help you evidence impact and improve your community.
A social network at its core, because stronger relationships are the foundation of health and happiness.
Our service design approach puts real people at the heart of every decision. We work closely with your community to understand challenges, explore opportunities and co-create solutions.
