About Us

We Are Community was created shortly after lockdown began in 2020 by Harpenden locals Katie and Sabine as a lifeline to help connect local people to local businesses and be the place to come for everything local.

WHY

Small and local businesses really are the beating heart of any community. During Covid-19, many have sadly been forced to close their doors, and some may never reopen. Inventing and growing businesses despite uncertainty shows how they are defined by their spirit. They are innovators and the fabric of our society, and we need them. But they also need you, and will only thrive if locals make full use of them and support them. Every single customer matters when you are small and the benefits of shopping small and local extend beyond times of crisis.

HOW

We Are Community is the place to come to find out everything local to you. Whether you are looking to take up a new hobby, socialise at a workshop, read interviews featuring local talent or get inspired by informative content on our blog then look no further. Our ‘love local, shop local’ directories will introduce you to some of the incredible local businesses and independents in your community. You can also check out and follow us on our instagram pages to engage with our followers and see our highlights.

WORKING WITH US

There are many ways in which you can work with us. These include: reviewing your business or event, featuring you on our blog and/or social media, SEO, advertising & marketing, photography, website design & build and design of branding material (logo, business cards, flyers, etc). If you’d like to say hello, or have any queries about becoming a member of our directory, please drop us a line here - we absolutely love meeting new people.
