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”
