Cozy in a paragraph

Cozy (cozylondon.co.uk) is on a mission to make our cities better places to live. Loneliness and the cost of living are pulling people apart, while the halls, studios and small venues where communities meet are struggling to stay open. Cozy brings them back together, free and with no commission: people find characterful, affordable spaces in London and retreats beyond it; organisers list events and sell tickets with no fees; neighbours crowdfund community projects; local organisations post jobs, volunteering and mentoring on Connect; and people find rooms and coliving homes to share. Cozy never holds anyone’s money, so hosts and projects are paid directly. Two characters do the legwork: Dea helps people find what they need, and Leo helps them list what they have. Cozy is funded by donations and sponsorship.

Live today: 2,959 venues mapped · 78 neighbourhoods and counties.
