How Street Circle works
Create a verified neighbour profile, tell us what you can offer, lend or swap and what you need help with, and our intelligent matching engine looks for useful connections close to home. Street Circle is a neighbourhood network and exchange network for knowledge, services, useful items and support — from borrowing tools or household items to book swaps, skills and practical help.
Safety matters too: every member must complete our verification process before appearing in Street Circle, exact home locations stay private, and members can message first, build trust and confirm exchanges before anything is added to their public neighbour history.
