Lead Your Community, Keep It Simple
Start a Local Group on GatherUK
You started (or you are starting) a group because people belong together — walks, crafts, coffee mornings, whatever brings your corner of the UK to life. GatherUK gives you a proper home for that community online: a place to list events, welcome members, and keep everyone in the loop, without drowning in admin.
We are a UK non-profit — no shareholders, no surprise price hikes. Your first three months are free, then it is a flat £5 a month per group. Read why we built it differently.

Your Community, Your Way
Most organisers go from idea to first event in just a few minutes — here is how.
Introduce your group
Name it, add a photo, and say what you are about. Choose public or private — you stay in control of who joins.
Share your first gathering
Pick a date, place, and how many can come. One-off or weekly — your call.
Welcome your members
We send confirmations and reminders for you. If someone drops out, we look after the waiting list — so you can focus on saying hello.
Enjoy bringing people together
Spend less time on spreadsheets, more time with your people. Invite a co-host when you want help.
Prefer a quick walkthrough?
If you'd like to see how it works, here's a short, friendly guide to setting up your group and sharing your first gathering — no tech jargon, just the basics.
Less Admin, More Time With Your Group
The tools are there when you need them — the point is what they free you up to do.
Affordable From Day One
Three months free, then £5 a month — members never pay to join or RSVP.
Events Without the Spreadsheet Stress
Recurring gatherings, capacity limits, and waiting lists that update themselves when plans change.
Know Who Is Coming
See your member list, approve join requests on private groups, and delegate to trusted event hosts.
