Available for a limited one-year period, fully funded by local business sponsors, the Sponsored Plan gives you verified access to Neighbourly at no cost. Here’s who it’s perfect for:
Don’t let your wallet limit your community.
Start smart, stay connected.
A friendly welcome, on us.
Peace of mind, without paperwork.
Want connection, but safely.
Try before you commit.
Getting started with a Sponsored Membership is simple, but spots are limited. Once a local business agrees to sponsor your first year, you’ll be invited to attend a Neighbourly Social where we’ll verify your details and help you activate your profile.
Register your interest for a Sponsored Membership.
If you’re shortlisted, you’ll be invited to a free local activation.
Get verified in person, then receive your invite code to activate your membership.
Not everyone can afford to join right away, but everyone deserves to belong. Sponsored Plans open the door to verified neighbourhood life, funded by local businesses or verified members who believe in a stronger, safer, more connected community.
Enjoy a full year of access to Neighbourly at no charge once approved.
Your membership is fully covered by local businesses or members who want to see more good neighbours in the network.
Attend a local social to activate your plan and meet your sponsor.
Get verified face-to-face in a friendly, informal setting. It’s simple, secure, and ensures everyone around you is real and nearby.
You’ll still get the same core features as Access or Pro Membership.
From local updates to community events and private messaging, your experience isn’t reduced. Sponsored just means someone made it possible for you to join our platform.
Every Neighbourly plan includes a powerful set of features designed to help you connect, stay informed, and build real trust with those around you. Whether you’re a resident or a business, these tools are built to make your everyday neighbourhood experience smarter, safer, and more meaningful.
Your Neighbourly profile is verified at no cost to you.

Help when you need it.
Sponsored members enjoy support based on their assigned plan: Access receives Basic support (48–72h response during business hours), while Pro receives priority responses within 24 business hours.
Only verified members can post or receive alerts.
Stay updated on safety, lost pets, power cuts and community news through a trusted network that filters out noise and spam.
A safe environment to offer or ask for help from your neighbours.
