Mind For Me looks to empower people, to help them find more ways to improve their financial position and achieve more with what they have. We believe people will be able to reduce costs and get more done through unlocking the resources all around us, ourselves and our community.

Although Mind For Me needs to be financially sustainable itself in order to maintain and grow our service, we have a policy to never take money from those that can’t afford it. Using corporate partners, we’ll make sure Mind For Me will be accessible to everyone.

Mind For Me continually works to achieve the goals through collaborations and support with others. Individuals, businesses, community organisations, charities and government agencies are all ones we talk to regularly to achieve our ambitious goals and those of the United Nations Development Programme.

So much attention is given to ride-sharing, autonomous vehicles, drones and other technology around transport but we feel it’s not addressing the simple aspect of efficiency. Too many vehicles are on the road being underutilised, wasting fuel, increasing congestion and the length of time getting to places.

Mind For Me will be introducing an easy way to car-pool. Whether it’s the daily commute, school runs or a trip to the airport… we’re going to give reasons for people to help each other out, cut costs and reduce the use of fuel wasted by cutting the number of cars with so much spare capacity and space on our roads.

Another item listed on the Mind For Me roadmap for the near future is the sharing of tools and equipment. Too many items we own are just underutilised. For example, an electric drill is only put to use for an hour or two each year in the average home. We don’t think there’s any need for all of us to own such things, and in addition to the expense there’s just far too much excess production. We’re going to make it easier for you to access such items from your neighbours, when you need to.

We see sustainable communities becoming more engaged communities. Technology, social media and easy access to online entertainment has created disconnection in neighbourhoods. Less communication and fewer people knowing their neighbours. We want to bring community back to your neighbourhood.

The Mind For Me platform has been built for inclusiveness. We don’t care about your background, your race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, social status or anything else you may feel you can be judged on. Everyone is equally welcome to be a part of our movement, and give or receive support within the community.

Mind For Me itself is an innovative platform, and works to assist local industry through employee welfare and responsibility.

Now this one is a bit of a hot topic for us at Mind For Me. To us social support is an important necessity, however, it also holds many down and prohibits economic growth. The reason we think of it like this is that many families are not truly encouraged or incentivised to take up work when they’re receiving social welfare or benefits. The extra they see is minimal for the effort put in and it becomes more appealing to remain outside of the workforce, limiting economic growth.

To empower families with alternative options, where things like childcare and the associated costs aren’t the only way they can obtain decent work, to see little reward at the end. Mind For Me can provide an alternative solution where more of the earnings from taking up work can be kept and people see more reason to take this step.

All equality is important for Mind For Me. Too often we see the focus of parenting towards one gender, family responsibilities, but know this isn’t the case. We also see home services set up that’s also gender-based, although capabilities are not restricted in this way. We look to support help exchanged between people regardless of what’s needed or the gender of people.

Although we don’t yet show education as a specific area in the help requests, Mind For Me does have it on the roadmap for the near future. We want people to easily be able to convert the help they give into assistance with education for them and their families. Whether it’s assistance with general schooling or the learning of new skills such as a language or a musical instrument, we want to help people share knowledge.

Mental health and general well-being is recognised as a very important aspect of good health. Reducing isolation and social inclusion contributes significantly towards this and Mind For Me is a platform that looks to bring people together, to create more positive engagement within the community.

Adequate nourishment and nutrition is an absolutely necessity. Mind For Me includes the ability for people to exchange their help for meals, to be able to obtain a decent feed for them and their family.
