Co-operate is an online community centre bringing people in Hitchin together to make good things happen.

Whether you want to find things to do, volunteer, join a group or set up your own – it's for people who care about their community and want to join forces to get things done.

Co-operate helps build stronger communities where people are more connected.

There are over 20,000 people, including 11,000 groups, sharing ways to get involved and support each other. Created with local communities, by local communities and for local communities.

You can find out about and get involved with local groups, such as Headway Hertfordshire, a non-profit organisation that works to improve the lives of those who have experienced brain injuries, or Howard Gardens Lunch Club, which offers activities and a two course hot lunch for isolated older people. Woof n Wag is another group offering a popular community service – realistic and affordable dog training.

You can use Co-operate to get free tips and advice from our 'How to' guides for example, how to start socialising again, how to create a gardening group and how to apply for funding.
