Connect Locally

Use your Local Hub Forum to meet others in your area, exchange ideas, and explore opportunities for collaboration. It can be a place to discuss forming new groups, organising online and venue meetings, developing local projects, and identifying practical ventures—both personal and community-focused.

The registration form is another way to connect. By registering, you can let facilitators know what you are interested in, allowing them to introduce you to others in your area or connect you with existing groups and initiatives. The form includes categories of interest that can help with this process, although completing these categories is entirely optional.

​

Give & Take

Another way to meet people with similar interests and values is through the Give & Take exchange in your area. These exchanges can create opportunities to share skills, resources, time, and practical assistance, and may also lead to the development of time-bank exchanges.

There are already well-established exchange systems operating in various communities. A Hub time-bank group can explore the systems available locally, decide which one best suits its needs, participate in an existing exchange, or even work together to develop a variation of its own.

The aim is not simply to prepare for potential breakdowns. It is about building stronger, more capable, and more connected communities in readiness for the transition we want.
