About Our Circle App
Our Circle is an app that brings together everyone supporting someone through a hard time — an illness, a new baby, a big life change — so help and communication stay coordinated instead of chaotic.
One person, the Organiser, sets up the Circle. You've been invited in as a Friend.
Our Circle for Friends.
Our Circle helps friends and family support someone by keeping everyone connected and informed all in the one place. Be kept up to date with progress, visiting times, list of needs and tasks and group chat all within the app.
Circles are invite only. To join a circle as a Friend you will have received an invite from the Circle Organiser. Clicking on the Join link in the invite will take you to the app and add you to the circle.
