Build a support crew

Every now and then, we all need a little help

When that person is somebody we care about, we’re eager to lend a hand. If that’s you, our free app and resources can help you to provide meaningful support.

We want to help, but don’t know what to do

It can be heartbreaking to watch someone we care about go through illness, accident, death, relationship breakdown or other challenging times. We often want to help, but our thoughts can get in the way.

But with the right tools and resources, we can help you overcome your concerns and provide meaningful help.

It’s our goal to normalise the act of helping and build support crews of family and friends around all people going through tough times. 

How Gather My Crew Works

Gather My Crew helps you bring together the people who care about you, and makes it easy for them to offer the right help at the right time.

Step 1: Start a Crew

Download the free app and create a private support crew. You can do this for yourself or for someone you’re helping.

Step 2: Answer a few simple questions

We’ll guide you through a few prompts to help you think about what kinds of help and care would really make a difference right now.

Step 3: Explore helpful content

Take a moment to read through our trusted tips and guidance. Whether you’re asking for help or offering it, we’ll help you feel confident and supported.

Step 4: Add some helpful tasks

Meals, school pickups, walking the dog, errands, emotional check-ins—whatever would lighten the load. Start small and build from there.

Step 5: Invite your people

Family, friends, neighbours, and colleagues can be invited to join your crew. They choose the tasks they can help with—no pressure, no confusion.

Step 6: Post a welcome message

Let your crew know you appreciate them being there. A simple message helps set the tone and brings everyone together.

Step 7: Track and coordinate with ease

Everyone can see what’s needed and who’s doing what—so nothing falls through the cracks and you don’t have to chase things up.

“Wednesday is my day off. So I’d be more than happy to walk the dog.”

“I’ll take Anna’s kids with mine to school. Easy since they’re so close by”
