One platform, many communities

Not a website. A platform every community calls home.

MyCommunity runs one secure, multi-tenant platform. Each activated community gets its own space and its own web address, while you manage everything centrally.

Why it matters

Engagement isn't broken because people don't care.

Work, family and caring responsibilities leave little room for evening meetings. So the same few voices decide, and most residents go unheard. MyCommunity moves participation to where people already are: their phone.

Everything in one place

A complete toolkit for modern community life.

Resident-facing tools that make taking part effortless, and back-office tools that make running a council simpler.

Verified residents

Confirm every member lives locally, by posted card or proof of address.

Issue map

Report potholes and hazards on a map; councils track each one to resolution.

Anonymous polls

Verified-but-anonymous voting for honest feedback councils can stand behind.

Meetings & minutes

Schedule meetings, publish minutes, and track every action to closure.

Consultations

Run structured consultations on local plans, county and government topics.

Ideas & projects

Residents suggest and back ideas; councils run projects transparently.

News & alerts

One trusted hub for updates, events and emergency notifications.

Complaints & casework

Log formal complaints with a full audit trail so nothing slips through.

How activation works

From dormant record to living community.

Every UK community already exists in MyCommunity as a record. Here's how one becomes a fully activated, resident-verified community.

See it in detail
1

Every community is in the registry

Using OS boundary and UK property data, each parish, town and community exists as a dormant record, ready, but not yet live.

Dormant
2

A clerk or leader requests a demo

Someone authorised to represent the community gets in touch and sees exactly how it would work for them.

Requested
3

We review and approve

We confirm the request is genuine and the right people are involved, then approve the community for activation.

Approved
4

The community is provisioned

It becomes a live tenant with its own secure space at yourcommunity.mycommunity.com and its own admin tools.

Activated
5

Residents join & verify

Residents confirm they live locally, then start reading minutes, reporting issues, voting and taking part.

Live
Value on both sides

Built for the people running communities, and living in them.

Trust & safety

Credible enough for councils. Safe enough for residents.

Verification and anonymity aren't a feature bolt-on, they're the foundation everything else is built on.

Real residents only

Posted card or proof of address, so participation is genuinely local.

Anonymous votes

Individual votes and feedback stay private, even when verified.

Role-based access

Clerks, councillors and residents each see exactly what they should.

UK data & GDPR

Built around UK data handling, with moderation and a clear privacy policy.

Live example

See a real community, built on MyCommunity.

Cosheston is a live demo community that shows what yours could look like. It's one of many, every activated community gets its own space and web address.

From pilot communities

More voices heard. Stronger decisions.

For the first time we're hearing from residents who have never set foot in a meeting. Turnout on our consultations has more than tripled.
EP
Eleri Pritchard
Clerk, Llanfair Community Council
The verification gives us real confidence in the results. When we take a decision now, we can show it genuinely reflects the community.
GH
Gareth Hughes
Chair, Cwmbran Town Council
I work shifts and could never make the meetings. Now I read the minutes and have my say on my phone in five minutes. It feels like my village again.

Common questions

Good to know

Is my community already on MyCommunity?
Most likely as a dormant record. Every UK parish, town and community council is already in our registry, it just needs a clerk or community leader to request activation. Find your community ›
How is this different from a Facebook group or a normal council website?
Participation is tied to verified local residents, votes are anonymous yet trustworthy, and councils get a full back office, meetings, minutes, issues, complaints and consultations, not just a noticeboard.
How does resident verification work?
Residents confirm they live locally either by a posted verification card or by uploading proof of address. Their individual votes and feedback always remain anonymous.
Does every community have its own website?
Yes. Each activated community gets its own public space at yourcommunity.mycommunity.com, managed centrally on one secure platform.
What does it cost?
Pricing depends on the size of your community. The best place to start is a short, no-obligation demo where we'll talk through what fits. Request a demo ›
