This is how you ask for, find and give help safely and easily in Imatra

Imatra is a strangely cozy National Miracle - a Finnish city of shared action. Now asking for help and helping others is even more comfortable and easier than ever.

The City of Imatra, in collaboration with Commun, is bringing a free phone application to residents, which you can also use from your laptop. 

On Commu, you can find a jogging partner, a chat buddy, a helping hand for volunteer work, or a foster home for a pet. You can also offer to help, for example by offering a ride, peer support, or a helping hand with yard work.

Who built the Commune? 

Commun is founded by a team of young entrepreneurs from Tampere. Karoliina Kauhanen, Sami Ekmark and Ronnie Nygren founded Commun in late 2021 because they wanted to make asking for and giving help easier.
