A BOURNEMOUTH University business student has co-founded a website to help the local community eradicate their ‘to-do’ lists.

Neyberly, created by Ed Williamson, 20, is an odd-jobs marketplace where residents can post small tasks they need doing and connect with fellow members of the community who want to help them out.

After living as an undergraduate for two years, the Winton local saw a gap in the market for fellow students to earn some cash alongside full-time education, whilst benefitting their local community in the process.

Ed, who co-founded the website with insurance underwriter Matthew Andrews, 21, said: “We want to provide flexible work for students, so they can earn income alongside their degree and bring back together communities with a large number of students.

“I lived with five boys in Winton last year whilst at university, none of us really had a job and we were all pretty hard up on money.

“We lived on a road full of young families and elderly residents – this would’ve provided a great opportunity to help them out.”

On the website you can be a ‘Neyber’, who are residents looking for jobs to help out their community, or a ‘Needer’, someone who needs help with everyday chores.

Students can post their skills and offer their services on the website, which allows members of the community to find the right person for their job.

A few jobs that are currently posted on the website include dog walking, cleaning, ironing and decorating.

Ed added: “The idea was created around October 2017 and market research took place up until February of this year. Our website finally went live at the end of March and is now fully functioning.

“We are the first company of this kind in Bournemouth that want to help out with the ‘odd-jobs’ revolution.

“We feel the residents of Bournemouth could benefit from this and get help with difficult everyday jobs that eager students will be keen to do.”
