How OfPeople works
Five steps. No vague good feelings.
We sit between you and the organisation, not in the way of them.
- 01
We invite an organisation
London-based children's homes, nursing homes, animal shelters, hospices and crisis centres apply. Our team reviews each one personally before they go live.
- 02
They post what they actually need
The director (or lead nurse, or founder) lists specific items, each with a price, an explanation, and a target quantity. No vague 'general fund'.
- 03
You buy one specific thing
Pick a place, pick a thing, pay in pounds. Your money sits in escrow at OfPeople.
- 04
They source it locally
The organisation buys the actual item from a local supplier within days. Funds are released as items are sourced.
- 05
You see it arrive
A photo of the item — and often the person — lands on your account and your inbox within 5–14 days.
