Every Bridge group began with a handful of neighbours and a library, church, school or community hall.

  1. 1

    Gather 15 people

    Ask neighbours to register on this site and choose your area. A group needs at least 15 members before it can be formally approved.

  2. 2

    Fewer than 15? Talk to the Team

    A smaller group is possible, but it has to be discussed with the Bridge team and approved first. Tell us who you are and where, and we will arrange a conversation.

  3. 3

    Choose three leaders

    Elect a chairperson, secretary and treasurer. Each uploads a national ID, proof of residence and police clearance for verification.

  4. 4

    Propose a hub

    Pick a central, secure place with electricity or solar potential, and get the owner's written permission.

  5. 5

    Compare quotes

    Collect at least two ISP or equipment quotations and choose the best value.
