Find meaningful connections
Partnership programme

Bring people together through what they love.

More participation. Stronger communities.

Across Europe, loneliness, social isolation and social exclusion are recognised by the EU, WHO and UN as growing societal challenges affecting wellbeing, community resilience and quality of life.

At the same time, your city has invested heavily in sports, culture, recreation, youth services and community initiatives, yet participation remains difficult to understand and valuable opportunities also by local providers and hobby clubs often go unnoticed.

HobbyTogether helps people discover peers, hobbies and local activities nearby based on their interests and free time while providing cities with anonymised, real-time insight into community participation and a new interest-based communication channel that helps organisations reach the right audiences more effectively.

A new interest-based communication channel

Cities also gain a new interest-based communication channel, enabling targeted communication to residents based on their interests instead of broad, one-size-fits-all messaging.
