An Overview
I’m Close By is a project designed to strengthen our neighborhoods by connecting people with local services. By making it easier to find and support businesses and providers nearby, we reduce unnecessary travel, cut emissions, and build a stronger, more united community.
The Idea
This initiative belongs to our “Live in Unity” and “Sustainable Neighbourhood” pillars. Its goal is to connect local service providers with community members in need of their services.
We are starting in South-East Amsterdam, with the ambition to expand this model to other areas. By creating a central database of local companies and independent providers, we want to make it easier for residents to discover and use nearby resources—supporting both local economy and community resilience.
Why should you participate ?
The Covid-19 pandemic showed us how much time and energy commuting consumes. During lockdowns, people turned to local solutions—finding plumbers, co-working spaces, and social opportunities within their own neighborhoods. The result? Less pollution, stronger local ties, and a renewed sense of belonging.
With I’m Close By, Stichting Futurum Nobis wants to build on this momentum. By joining, local businesses and providers gain visibility, while community members gain easy access to trusted, nearby services. Together, we create a more connected, supportive, and sustainable neighborhood.
