Inclusive community, exclusive platform

Community

Table of Contents

It’s been over a year since we launched our CommsRebel app community. It’s a safe space for folks to chat, connect and find practical resources.

My ambition is to make this app the ‘go-to’ place for folks interested in doing things differently and we have some exciting plans for the future.

However, this 580 community wouldn’t exist without Engage and their fab team. They have worked tirelessly to create a platform that’s accessible and easy to navigate. Their knowledge about how to build communities is second-to-none and I’ve learnt a lot from them.

If you haven’t heard of Engage, then do check them out. They are a Manchester-based app company run by some of the best people I know. They’ve recently published a free guide on how to cultivate a thriving community, and it’s full of great insight. Check out the link in the comments.

And if you want to join the CommsRebel community, search CommsRebel from wherever you download your apps.

If you’re an existing rebel member, drop me a DM with some suggestions on how to improve what we have already. I’d love to hear from you!

Thanks, Phil Wedgwood and John Porter, for your relentless support.
