How to use HelpHub

HelpHub is a community-run place for small local tasks. You can post a task if you need help, or become a helper and lend a hand. There are no platform fees — people agree payment directly.

No platform fees Message first Reviews after completion

Before you start

Create an account so you can message and receive offers.
Verify your email (it helps keep the community safer).
Add a profile photo if you can — it builds trust quickly.
Use clear location: your town/area is enough (no need to post your full address).

Tip: If you’re not sure how to describe the task, post a question first in Get advice.

What works best here

Great for: DIY, flat-pack assembly, moving help, cleaning, gardening, small repairs.
Not ideal for: emergencies, large building projects, or anything that needs formal contracting.
Payments: arranged directly between people (HelpHub does not handle money).

If anything feels unsafe or suspicious, don’t continue — you can report the listing or user.

If you need help

Posting a task is just describing what you need and waiting for offers.

Post a task with a clear title and simple description.
Add photos if possible (photos help helpers price fairly).
Set your area (town + county) and your budget (or say “open to offers”).
Read offers and message if you have questions.
Choose a helper when you’re happy with the plan.
After it’s done, mark complete and leave a review.

Good task titles:
“Assemble IKEA wardrobe (2 hours)” · “Leaking kitchen tap” · “Help moving sofa + table”

Safety tips (simple rules)

Message first: agree scope, timing, and price before starting.
No upfront payments for larger jobs — pay after work is done.
Meet smart: if you can, have someone else at home or meet in a public place first.
Protect privacy: don’t share full address or phone number until you’re comfortable.
Trust your instincts: if something feels off, cancel and report.

HelpHub is a community coordination tool — users are responsible for their own agreements and safety.
