App Detail » Rewalia

App Description

We bring together all the key actors in this social ecosystem that is a neighbourhood, users, providers and linkers.

We enable and support direct, real time connectivity, exchange of goods and services, local government participation, visibility and dissemination of community projects, volunteering initiatives benefiting from time banks, and opportunities for bigger players to put their money where their mouth is and roll out and test some of their CSR commitments.

Rewalia is born as a connecting and dynamising technology platform at the heart of the community, never losing perspective of its social focus.

PERSONALISED SERVICE
A personalised platform for products and services helps support more informed and suitable (fitting) consumer choices.

CONNECT WITH YOUR COMMUNITY
By shopping in the neighbourhood where you live or work, you establish a direct contact with local residents and businesses. Equally, you can translate the experience of ‘becoming a local’ when travelling to other neighbourhoods, here or abroad.

LOCAL MEANS LESS POLLUTING
Accessing products and services locally helps reduce traffic congestion, pollution, and overall carbon footprint linked to retail.

RESPONSIBLE CONSUMPTION
Shopping in your local neighbourhood can make you more aware of your real needs and prevent compulsive shopping, nurturing more sustainable behaviours.

WORKING CLOSER TO HOME
Connecting directly with your neighbourhood helps you gain an insight into its needs, including business opportunities and employability. Job offers close to where we live can open new opportunities and help people reconcile work and family pressures and commitments.

FOOD WASTE
By helping change consumer habits as well as receiving last minute offers from your trusted local traders, you can actively contribute to a more efficient management of their stock and help reduce food waste.

TECHNOLOGICAL DIVIDE
Confident technology users like yourself can be active agents for change in the community. Go and visit your local shops, show them what Rewalia can do for them, and help them increase their selling power in this neighbourhood-centered commercial and social ecosystem.

LAST MINUTE
Your entire neighbourhood in the palm of your hand. Whether a babysitter, an electrician, or a theatre play...find last minute offers, or connect to Rewalia to receive updates tailored to your preferences.

YOU MAKE YOUR NEIGHBOURHOOD
Feel proud of where you live and help your community grow. Share your time, and support those in need closeby.

MORE TIME AND BETTER QUALITY OF LIFE
Get to know your neighbourhood better. Fall in love with its cultural, sport, and gastronomic offer. You make your neighbourhood.

We are social innovators, harnessing the power of technology to bind communities together.

We want to help drive direct economic benefit to the local business and enterprising community.

We want to be an inclusive and representative platform for the community, a social and cultural reference point for the area.

We want to put our datasets to effective use, providing an insight into the social fabric of the neighbourhood, its needs and challenges.

We want to use that knowledge and transform it into wisdom, addressing social barriers and divides in the local community.

We want to promote the use of time as a social currency- at Rewalia we see time as an active agent for change, time as the vehicle to facilitate active participation in local life, time as an investment in your neighbourhood, time as part of the social matrix. All these different aspects or characteristics of time are key to the long term success of community life, and to help foster a sense of belonging both in its resident and regular visitor populations.

Remember that Rewalia uses your location to keep you informed on the services and offers that are active nearby you. Be aware that having your GPS switched on continuously can cause increased use of your battery
