Rally Round

Rally Round is a simple idea. Basically it's a site that makes it easy for friends and family to organise themselves to better support a loved one and to help keep them independent for longer. 

Family and friends join a loved ones' private support network and volunteer for jobs that need doing. Everyone in a support network can see what jobs need doing, what jobs they and others have already volunteered to do, and jobs that have been completed.
