Community-help areas we are learning about

  • Basic computer and technology help without sharing passwords or banking details
  • Finding information and forms without professional advice

  • Outdoor pickup or doorstep delivery without cash handling
  • Community cleanup
  • Public-place companionship or event accompaniment

Areas that need added checks before they can open

Some work involves a home, car, physical risk, key, food, payment, or licence. These areas need extra checks.

  • In-home cleaning or repairs
  • Passenger transportation
  • Snow removal, power tools, ladders, heavy lifting, or moving
  • Recurring one-to-one support for vulnerable adults
  • Keys, pet sitting, house sitting, or alarm codes
  • Meal preparation involving allergies or medical diets
  • Paid work and professional services
  • Licensed trades

What community help means

A future task may involve time, materials, fuel, a purchase, or another cost. Every possible cost must be clear before an introduction. There are no surprise charges or paid ranking.
