Hay Mills We Are - a digital space for people with Shared Values





Hay Mills We Are is all about sharing and nurturing values within a community that, together, can create positive social and economic for the benefit of all. 

It is a space that the community jointly owns to showcase the work being done and, in partnership with others, drive forward new initiatiates, new ideas and positive change.  


Hay Mills We Are is a Community of Passion that utilises YourPlaceYourSpace digital engagement and social media to deliver real change and positive social impact.

It is a digital space for people who are passionate about their community and want to help make a positive difference for the benefit of those who live and work in Hay Mills.

At Hay Mills We Are, we help connect people where passions are shared; we give people FREE access to their very own digital space where they can promote their passion; and we recognise people for the contributions they make.

This is all achieved with the help of a digital platform called FreeTimePays.

FreeTimePays is a digital product that supports the growth of Communities of Passion, giving the community access to the tools needed to drive forward initiatives and support people who are passionate about making a difference.

There are three components to FreeTimePays.

There’s Community Passport, Community Workspace and Community Matchmaker. Operating right across the platform in recognition of the valuable contribution being made by users is YourPlaceYourSpace gamification. This takes the form of points and rewards for passions shared.

FreeTimePays is here for people who really want to become involved in their community or with their particular passion and for those people who are really serious about making a difference. It’s our job at YourPlaceYourSpace to provide the tools and functionality that helps bring together those who create the great ideas with those who have the potential to turn an idea into something that really does make a difference.

Community Passport

Passport is a personal space which registered members can make their own. With a passport, members can choose to get involved with their passion and participate in many different ways.

They can view regular content and posts; sort and save this content by type or by passion; they can collect points for giving their views through polls and surveys, attend events or even join a discussion.

With a YourPlaceYourSpace Community Passport, members can follow inspiring people and they can learn more about their community and their passion by following regular ‘Did you Know’ features. And the more they decide to do and the more they get involved, the more points they collect and the greater the opportunity to take up offers and win prizes.

Community Workspace

With their unique Community Workspace, YourPlaceYourSpace is able to help those who are inspired and serious about taking things to the next level. YourPlaceYourSpace will give these people their own access rights environment where they can work on their idea or project.

In this digital space they can work alone, or bring in others to share in building evidence, acquiring knowledge and developing plans. This is the ideal space for working on the business; working on the idea; working on the initiative.

A range of facilities and tools can be found in workspace and users can effectively utilise this space for collating documents, photos, videos and web links, for opening up discussion and chat with others, or for running surveys and analysing results.

Community Matchmaker

The whole focus and rationale for YourPlaceYourSpace is MAKING A DIFFERENCE. It’s our job at YourPlaceYourSpace to provide the tools and functionality that helps bring together those who create the GREAT IDEAS with those who have the potential to turn an IDEA into something that really does MAKE A DIFFERENCE.

Matchmaker is where the dreamers can join with the dream makers – with those who are more than happy to put their support, their resources, their connections, and their wealth of experience behind the idea and behind the passionate people responsible for coming up with the idea.

These are the community drivers, the investors, the philanthropists, the funders of great initiatives, the Lottery, and those from local government and the public sector who are responsible for the provision of public services.

These are the people and the organisations who are in positions of making things happen for those who are passionate and inspired to want to make a difference.

Are you such a person?  Get involved and share your passion at Hay Mills We Are.
