EASYHELPINGS · THE LOCAL DIRECTORY
Discover what is happening locally.
Your Living Digital Town Square.
Find local businesses, services, events, groups and opportunities in one growing local directory — starting in Nuneaton, Bedworth and the communities around them.
Start local. Connect outward.
LOCAL CONNECTIONS
A growing network of local places, people and opportunities.
DISCOVERY ISN’T JUST ABOUT CUSTOMERS
Your next opportunity might come from another business.
A local maker might be discovered by a shop looking for new products. A trader might find a supplier. An event organiser might discover a service provider. A business might find someone to collaborate with.
You never know who might discover you. EasyHelpings is being built as a local discovery network — not simply a customer directory.

People. Businesses. Communities.
CCG is the organisation behind the work. We build connections, create opportunities and help good local ideas grow.
EasyHelpings is the community heart. Creative Labs is the professional paid arm helping independent businesses and organisations get properly online.
We are starting with something useful and real: a free local directory and connection layer. The deeper technology grows from the people who join it.
THE FIRST USEFUL LAYER
A local directory you can actually use.
Browse without an account. Find a business, service, event, group or opportunity. If you run something local, ask to be listed for free.
Businesses & Shops
Independent businesses, cafés, food, retail and local producers.
Food & Drink
Local food businesses, pubs, cafés and producers.
Trades & Services
Useful local skills, trades and services.
Makers & Market Traders
Makers, crafters, traders, pop-ups and home businesses.
Events & What's On
Markets, events, festivals and activities.
Groups & Activities
Clubs, sport, hobbies, social groups and activities.
Community Organisations
Charities, churches, spaces and volunteering.
Opportunities
Jobs, experience, collaboration and local opportunities.
The public directory grows as real local providers submit and are approved. Be one of the first to list →
LOCAL LIFE
Local life comes together.
EasyHelpings isn't just about finding a shop. It's about discovering who's doing something, what's happening around you, who needs help, who has an opportunity — and who you might be able to help.
Events & What's On
Makers & IdeasPeople building something of their own.
Makers, side ventures, home businesses and local ideas all have a place.
CommunityThe places and people that make a town feel like home.
Community spaces, groups, charities, projects and local stories belong in the picture too.
HOW IT WORKS
Discover. Connect. Support. Grow.
Four simple ideas underneath the whole EasyHelpings vision.

Support
Participate, collaborate, volunteer, buy, visit or help.
Grow

BUILT WITH THE COMMUNITY
The community comes first. The technology follows.
EasyHelpings is being built by meeting people, listening to what they need and creating the first useful layer before the bigger technology arrives.
We're building EasyHelpings with people, rather than simply building technology for people.

EasyHelpings Legacy · People & Stories
Remembering Craig.
Chubbs Grub
Craig was one of the first people to believe in what we were building. Working alongside him became an important part of the early CCG journey, and his place in that story stays with us.
Some people don't just help build something. They become part of its story.
Read the story →THE LONGER JOURNEY
The directory is where we start.
The deeper EasyHelpings technology is being developed in the background. As the network grows, the platform can grow around the people using it.
Local Link
Future connections between local businesses and independent drivers for deliveries and collections.
Richer Connections
Profiles, events, opportunities and useful local tools can grow from the real network.
A Living Town Square
The technology follows the relationships, needs and activity that already exist in local communities.
START LOCAL. CONNECT OUTWARD.
Technology is the tool. Community is the purpose.
Explore what's local, list what you do, start something with LaunchPad or talk to CCG about what you're building.
