The People Who Share

The People Who Share is building a digital marketplace for sharing. The aim is to aggregate all information relating to the Sharing Economy in one place to make it easy for anyone to share, rent, buy, sell and swap including goods such as cars, property, clothes, books, skills and services such as car sharing, travel, and Peer2Peer rental.

The People Who Share is a start-up social enterprise dedicated to promoting a world where people share resources, skills, knowledge, responsibility, opportunities, ideas, goods and services and time.

By creating a one-stop shop for sharing, The People Who Share believes it can harness the power of reciprocity to create a happier, healthier and more sustainable future. The ambition is to be the champions of, and the destination hub of, a Sharing Economy whilst also making it fun, affordable, easy and accessible.

Quote from the founder, Benita Matofska:

'The People Who Share believe in a connected world of collaborative lifestyles and cohesive communities, where people come together to share the life they love and live the life they want by sharing cars, skills, knowledge, time, homes, gardens, clothes.... the opportunities are endless.  Our goal is to unlock the sharing potential in every person, in every home and in every street. What will you share?'

The Award: The People Who Share has been awarded £50,000 to build the prototype for the marketplace and grow the capacity of the business.
