While iLocal® is under development, LinkedUp Network launched a print edition — a free, physically distributed publication designed for people who are experiencing homelessness and individuals who may not have reliable access to a phone, data, or digital literacy.
The print edition functions as an immediate access tool, providing clear, localised information about meals, accommodation options, amenities, transport, community services, and free events in a format that can be kept, shared, and used offline. Unlike traditional service pamphlets, iLocal® in print is intentionally designed to be human-centred and dignity-affirming.
Further to providing individuals with information vital for survival, iLocal® includes original content, ranging from messages of reassurance and belonging, exclusive custom designed crosswords and other light activities encouraging mindfulness, through to curated opportunities for free and safe community engagement.
iLocal® is intended to send a clear message of solidarity — letting people know that they are not alone, they are not forgotten, we are here, we care, and we are in their corner.
We have been distributing this publication in areas of need since February, with the help of frontline services like Orange Sky and Ruah Engagement Hub, reducing reliance on digital navigation and ensuring information reaches people where they are — not where systems assume they will go. These print runs have been small and intentional, allowing us to learn, adapt, and continue to grow responsibly.
The iLocal® print edition also provides a low-barrier platform for support service providers to share accurate, up-to-date information with the people they aim to support. This enables organisations to increase reach, reduce misinformation, and connect more effectively with individuals who may not otherwise encounter or engage with their services.
The launching of iLocal® print version, as well as all other associated campaigns, is about making a meaningful difference where it is needed most, right now. We believe that small, local actions can combine to create significant and lasting impact, so we’re starting small – one city, one day, one person at a time – and learning everything we can along the way for future efforts.
