How GatherUK Works
GatherUK is a platform designed to bring local communities together. Whether you're looking to join existing groups or start your own, we make it easy to connect, organise, and grow together.
For Members
Search for Groups
Browse our directory of local groups in your area. Use the search function to find groups that match your interests, or discover new communities near you. Each group has its own page with events, photos, and member information.
Subscribe to Groups
Once you find a group you're interested in, simply click "Subscribe" to join. For public groups, you'll have immediate access. For private groups, the group administrator will review and approve your subscription request.
RSVP to Events
Browse upcoming events from all your subscribed groups in one place. Click on any event to see full details, then RSVP to let organisers know you're coming. You can manage all your RSVPs from your personal dashboard.
Connect & Participate
Attend events, share photos, and connect with other members. You can view member directories, see who's attending events, and build lasting connections within your local community.
For Group Administrators
Create Your Group
Set up your group page with a name, description, and hero image. Choose whether your group is public (anyone can join) or private (requires approval). Customize your group's appearance and settings.
Create Events
Add events with dates, times, locations, and capacity limits. Upload event images, set pricing, and add links to tickets or menus. Events can be viewed in both card and calendar formats.
Manage RSVPs
Keep track of who's attending your events. Manage RSVPs, handle waiting lists, mark payments, and send email updates to attendees. You can also cancel events and automatically notify all RSVPs.
Manage Your Group
Use the Admin Dashboard to update your group's hero image, configure payment details (bank account or PayPal), and manage members. You can suspend or remove members as needed, and view group statistics.
