Connecting local people in genuine need with neighbours and businesses who can help — launching soon.
These example cases show how the Community Support programme will work. No real cases are active yet.

Community Support cases are reviewed before being publicly promoted. We focus on genuine, urgent local needs and protect vulnerable people’s privacy.
A person in the community is nominated by themselves, a family member, a neighbour, or a carer who knows their situation.
We contact the nominator and the beneficiary, check the story, and verify the genuine need before anything is shared publicly.
Community members can offer labour, materials, transport, or practical help. Businesses can register as Local Heroes.
Every case has a visible outcome. We share what help was delivered and what changed for that person or family.
Local Heroes are community partners — tradespeople, volunteers, and local businesses — who step in to provide practical support on reviewed Community Support cases.
The Local Heroes programme has not yet launched. The cards below are placeholder previews showing how community partners will be listed when the programme goes live. No businesses are currently enrolled through this preview section.

Many people who need help cannot ask for it themselves. Older people, vulnerable residents, or families in crisis may need someone to speak up for them.
If you know someone local who needs urgent practical support — a neighbour, relative, or community member — you can nominate them here.
This will become the entry point for reviewed Community Support nominations. The AskPerTask team will contact the nominator directly after each submission is received.
If you are a tradesperson, volunteer, or local business that can offer labour, materials, time, or a relevant skill, you will be able to register your interest with the AskPerTask team. Verified helpers are matched to cases after a short review.
This is a placeholder preview of the helper registration pathway. When the Community Support programme launches, tradespeople, volunteers, and local businesses will be able to register their interest in supporting verified cases.
No financial contribution is required. This is volunteer and community support only.
