Steve McNay - Woughton Community Council https://www.woughtoncommunitycouncil.gov.uk/ - this video presents the GATEKEEPER pilot in Milton Keynes https://www.gatekeeper-project.eu/.

A collaboration between the Open University and WCC, the project aims to bring together community caregivers with those in need.

It works by enabling Milton Keynes residents to create and respond to requests around daily living on the app. Users ask for help with day-to-day activities, such as shopping and gardening, and then community members can respond by offering that help.
