Meet your local team

Safety Bay

Buy local. Hire local. Support local.

Local Kindness is built around a simple idea: when somebody nearby needs a hand, more of that opportunity should remain nearby.

Each Location has a local Partner. Depending on the service, that Partner may complete the work themselves or involve a nearby restaurant, bakery, florist, worker or other local business.

The aim is practical: make useful local services easier to find, easier to book and easier to deliver well.

Planned properly, without the rush

Every booking is made at least 40 hours before the job. We notify the Partner as soon as it is booked, so they can see the work coming and plan their days in advance.

If a supplier is involved, the Partner sends them a Stripe confirmation link once when setting up their account. After that, each order is sent to the supplier automatically and the supplier is always paid in advance. A restaurant can plan the meal. A florist can prepare the flowers. A bakery can make what was ordered.

The Partner reads the notification we send them, always at least 40 hours in advance of any job.

No last-minute scramble. Local service should feel calm, personal and dependable.

What a Location may become

Every Location begins with a few useful services. From there, it can develop according to what local people need and what the Partner can confidently provide.

That might include:

  • services provided directly by the Partner;
  • work completed with trusted local workers;
  • deliveries involving nearby businesses; or
  • helping worthwhile local services become better known within the area.

Some Locations may remain small and personal. Others may recognise untapped potential and seek help expanding. Both are valid. The direction belongs to the Partner and the people who use the service.
