About Neighbours 

Neighbours is created for residents to connect and share hyper-local community updates and information from reliable sources. Neighbours Verified allows local authorities, public safety services and community organisations to join Neighbours to help keep residents updated through a custom interface of their jurisdiction. 

Key Neighbours Features 

Stay Informed: Millions of residents in communities across the U.K. have joined Neighbours and use it to receive real-time, hyper-local community updates from fellow users and the local authorities, public safety services, and community organisations that serve them. 

Share Updates: Share updates with your community by creating a new post or commenting on existing posts in your local Neighbours feed. 

Customise Your Experience: Select your neighbourhood area of interest, adjust your settings to see only your preferred types of posts in your feed, and select the type and frequency of update notifications you wish to receive. 

Helpful Services: In some neighbourhoods, local organisations use Neighbours to connect with residents and share hyper-local updates in the communities they serve. Visit Ring’s Active Organisation Map to see if your local authority or public safety service is on Neighbours.
