The People Who Share
The People Who Share is an exciting social enterprise, the campaign for a Sharing Economy. Founders of Global Sharing Day we are dedicated to reshaping the world through sharing, harnessing the power of reciprocity to create a happier, healthier and more sustainable future.
Through our marketplace of sharing www.compareandshare.com we bring together, aggregate and connect the Sharing Economy. We make sharing fun, affordable, easy and accessible, connecting sharing online with offline events and campaigns. We are the central hub, the champions of the Sharing Economy.
We believe in a connected world of collaborative lifestyles and cohesive communities, where people come together to share the life they love and live the life they want by sharing cars, skills, knowledge, time, homes, gardens, clothes…. the opportunities are endless. Our goal is to unlock the sharing potential in every person, in every home and in every street. What will you share?
