Somebody near you
has what you need

Share a Meal

You cooked for six and four came. Post what is left, say where you are, and somebody nearby comes for it while it is still warm.

They claim it, they collect it, you both confirm it happened. Nothing gets thrown away and nobody had to ask twice.

Give Back

For people in real difficulty — a medical bill that cannot wait, a family that has run out of options. You can bring a case forward on somebody's behalf, or help one that is already there.

Every case is reviewed by our team before it is shared, and whoever submits it puts their name and their word behind it. Money goes directly from one member to another; The Circle never touches it and takes nothing from it.

Trade

Sell the things you have finished with, and find the things you need, among people who are not strangers. A cot, a desk, a bike that fits your daughter now.

Every seller confirms the item is theirs to sell and honestly described, including anything wrong with it.

Borrow

A ladder for one afternoon. A drill for one shelf. A suitcase for one trip. Ask to borrow it instead of buying a thing you will use once and store for a decade.

Ask, and whoever has one offers it — free, or for a small amount if they would rather.

Jobs

Both sides of it. Post an opening you are trying to fill, or say what work you are looking for and let the people hiring find you.

Most jobs are found through somebody who knows somebody. This is that, written down.

Offer Help

An hour, a skill, a lift to the airport, help moving a sofa. Not a job and not for money — just something you are willing to do for whoever needs it.

Transport

You drive to Abu Dhabi every Sunday with three empty seats. Somebody else is paying for a taxi to the same place. Offer the seats, or say where you need to get to and when.

One trip or every week, with the days and the time it leaves.

Send & Carry

Papers from home. Medicine you cannot get here. Keys somebody left behind. Someone in The Giving Circle is flying that way this week and has room in their bag.

A favour between members, never a paid service and never freight — and nothing sealed is ever carried. The bag is opened and looked into, every time.

Events

A barbecue, a desert night, a birthday with room for more. Say where and when, and see who is coming — with names, so a host knows what they are cooking for.

Activities

The things that are better with other people. A run at six, a football game short of two players, a class somebody is starting.

Communities

You are already in The Giving Circle with everyone else. Inside it are smaller ones — your building, your profession, the place you are from. Join as many as you like, start your own, or stay exactly as you are.

Anything you post can go to everyone, or only to the communities you choose.

Pets

A cat that needs a home, a dog that has gone missing, an animal hurt and needing treatment nobody can afford alone. Or simply somebody to walk yours while you are away.

Offers

Discounts from restaurants, clinics, salons and more across the UAE. We are onboarding merchants now.
