We’re here whether you Work Rest or Play in the local area

We connect and promote the network of villages, towns, and cities that make up our vibrant local communities.

Our journey began in the HD8 postcode of Huddersfield, West Yorkshire, and we’ve grown into surrounding areas in response to local demand. No one lives their life entirely in one spot — we travel for work, school, social lives, and family. That’s why we’re here to support you wherever you Work, Rest or Play.

We’re building a trusted online hub to help people find local businesses, services, events, and community groups — and to help those organisations be more visible online.

We grow organically and based on local demand, so if you’d like your community to be featured, get in touch. We’re always looking for local champions to help their area be found and celebrated online — and we offer incentives for those who get involved.

Interested in visibility?

Check out our advertising packages — we offer a variety of options for both businesses and community organisations, with pricing to suit different needs.

We hope you enjoy using this handy, trusted local hub — designed to connect people, businesses, and organisations of all kinds, whether you Work, Rest, or Play here.

Discover a wide range of local events, things to do, small businesses, community services, and support groups — all in one place. Updated regularly on our website and shared across social media to help you stay connected to your local area.
