Technology that makes local kinder.

Most gift cards are a small act of economic leakage. You buy one, the money leaves the community, and ends up with a national retailer or a platform that has no connection to where you live. Kind [Town] works the other way round.

Shoppers buy a town-branded voucher redeemable only at independent local businesses. Every purchase keeps money circulating in the local economy. A portion of every transaction is automatically donated to a charity chosen by the retailer: not as an optional extra, but built into every sale from the start.

The first deployment is Kind Frome, in Somerset. Frome has a strong independent retail scene, a thriving monthly market, and a predecessor gift scheme that proved the demand is real. Kind Frome is the proof-of-concept town. From there the model rolls out to market towns across the UK: each one its own brand, its own charity, its own identity, all running from the same platform.

For retailers, joining is free. No hardware changes, no complicated setup. A shop signs up, chooses a local charity, and starts accepting vouchers via a QR code on any phone.

We are currently looking for retail partners, Business Improvement Districts, and town councils who want to bring Kind [Town] to their high street.

Markets have always worked the same way. You turn up, you browse, you buy. If you cannot make it on the day — distance, mobility, weather, time — the stallholder loses that sale and you miss out entirely. There is no way around it. Until now.

Live Stall gives every market stall a live digital presence for the duration of the market day. A trader arrives at their pitch, taps Go Live, uploads a few photos, and within minutes their stall is visible to home browsers anywhere. Buyers can browse, ask questions, make offers, and arrange delivery without leaving the house. The market keeps trading beyond its physical footprint.

The AI stocksheet removes the one thing that would slow traders down. Upload photos of an item and the platform reads them: it writes the title, the description, the condition rating, and suggests a price. The stallholder confirms or edits. The whole process takes under two minutes on a phone.

Every completed sale includes a small platform fee, and a defined portion of that goes automatically to a local charity chosen by the market or the trader. The giving is built in from the start, not bolted on later.

Live Stall is currently in development and looking for its first pilot market partner. If you run a market, represent a Business Improvement District, or work with market traders and want to be part of the first launch, we would like to hear from you.

CompassionQR came from a simple discomfort. Most people walk past someone in need not because they do not care, but because they do not know how to help. A coin feels inadequate. A conversation feels intrusive. So nothing happens, and both people are diminished by it.

The idea is straightforward. A person experiencing hardship carries a QR code on a card, a badge, a phone. Someone passing can stop and talk, or simply scan and walk on. Either way, they can fund a specific named need: a food voucher, a winter coat, a training course. The money goes directly to that purpose. Nothing is pooled, nothing is opaque.

The platform is built around dignity on both sides. The person in need builds their own profile: their name, their story, their specific situation, supported by a verified NGO partner. The donor sees a real person, not a category. They can send a message, follow progress, come back.

CompassionQR is currently in development. We are actively looking for UK charities, NGOs, and retail partners who work with people experiencing hardship and want to be part of the pilot.

If that sounds like you, we would be glad to talk.

Most groups already do this. There is a WhatsApp thread, a running joke, an unofficial title that gets handed around. The bird of the week. The recipe of the month. The player of the match. It happens informally, someone argues about it, and it is forgotten by Tuesday.

GroupVote makes it official. Any group sets up a recurring contest in a few minutes: daily, weekly, monthly. Members nominate and vote, and a winner is crowned each cycle. No spreadsheets, no group admin chasing people, no arguments about who counted the votes.

The part people did not expect: an AI judge reviews each winner and delivers a verdict. Witty, contextual, and aware of what was submitted. It gives every result a moment worth sharing.

GroupVote is live now at groupvote.app. No app download needed, just a link. Free to start.

DriveT started as a simple observation: the best thing about driving through Britain is what you are passing through. Most people have no idea. A medieval wool town, a Nonconformist chapel, a river that powered three mills. It goes by at 50mph and nobody says a word.

The idea came from Star Holden of Art Research Technology in Frome. Walter Coughlan developed it into a working concept and built a pilot demo covering ten locations in Frome: real heritage content, real GPS tracking, real voice narration. It works in any mobile browser, no app required.

DriveT runs in the background while you drive. You set your interests once: geology, industrial heritage, ecclesiastical history, nine categories in total, and DriveT does the rest. As you approach any town or village it speaks. No tapping, no choosing a tour, no looking at a screen.

Every existing audio guide asks you to pick a route and follow it. DriveT works on any road, in any direction, at any time. That is the difference.

The project is now moving from demo to formal development. We are looking for heritage data partners, a university collaboration, and grant funding partners who share an interest in making heritage more accessible.

Most train journeys through Britain pass remarkable things. A medieval fortress on a ridge. A viaduct built by a thousand navvies. A valley that shaped an entire industry. It goes by at speed and nobody says a word.

WindowID is a mobile web application for rail passengers on scenic routes. It tracks your position in real time, knows which side of the train you are sitting on, and delivers spoken heritage content about what is visible from your window, timed to arrive before the view has passed. No interaction needed once the journey begins. Just listen.

The system draws on DriveT, a proof-of-concept platform developed by Kindfull for road and pedestrian heritage discovery. WindowID adapts that engine to rail for the first time, adding seat-side awareness, fixed-route content pre-loading, and a companion link so someone at home can follow the same journey in real time.

The pilot route is the Heart of Wales Line, Shrewsbury to Swansea: one of the most historically and geologically varied landscapes in Britain, carrying around 90,000 passengers a year.

WindowID is currently in development. We are looking for heritage partners, rail operators, and funding partners who want to bring the story of the British landscape back to the people passing through it.
