Good things begin together

GP Common is a journal about the small, practical things that help people feel connected: a useful volunteer role, a well-kept sharing shelf, a place where you can sit for a while.

We write for curious neighbors and people wondering where to start. You do not need to lead a large project to have something to contribute. Sometimes a good question or a realistic offer of time is enough to begin.

What you will find here

Lending a Hand explores ways to contribute your time. Places We Share looks at the spaces around us. Everyday Sharing offers manageable ideas for keeping useful things in use.

Our place in the conversation

This is an independent editorial publication. We are not a charity, a volunteer placement service or a continuation of any organisation formerly associated with this domain. We do not collect donations or register readers for volunteering.

We hope the journal helps you have useful conversations with people and groups near you. Our editorial approach explains how we use sources and illustrations.
