Hooroo is a Holdfast Bay pilot helping people beat loneliness by finding local, face-to-face groups. Whether you're new to the area or returning after a big life change, there's a walking group, choir, book club or shed with your name on it.
Hooroo is free for community members and always will be. Revenue is generated through ethical, mission-aligned commercial partnerships that enhance rather than compromise the user experience. Every sponsor is reviewed against our values so what you see on Hooroo stays warm, trustworthy and community-first.
Sponsor logos appear on the footer of every page in this order: Platinum (major) partners first, then Community sponsors, then Micro-grant sponsors — with each micro-grant sponsor credited alongside the group they helped start.
