Help Nearby was born out of a simple frustration.
Our founder, Somto, was struggling to find clear, practical, day-to-day information that actually made a difference in everyday life. Not breaking news, not opinion pieces, but the kind of granular, useful insights that help you navigate real decisions, how credit actually works, how to make sense of a mortgage, what deals are available to you right now, alternative healthcare, and what policy changes mean for your household this week.
That information existed, but it was scattered, complicated, and hard to find. So Somto decided to do something about it, not just for himself, but for the millions of people across the UK who were probably feeling exactly the same frustration.
That's how Help Nearby was born.
We don't think of ourselves as a news site. We are your daily guide, an insightful partner who walks alongside you, helping you make smarter decisions every day. We cover the things you didn't even know you needed to know, until you read them and think wow, I'm really glad I saw that.
From financial services and personal finance, to healthcare, energy, retail, transport and beyond, we connect the dots between what's happening in the UK and what it actually means for your life.
Clear insights. Smarter decisions. Better living.
That's not just our tagline. It's our promise to you.
