Our Story
UpTheStreet was founded with a simple idea: finding local services should be easy and reliable. As residents ourselves, we experienced the frustration of searching through multiple websites, outdated directories, and unreliable information when looking for essential services in our local area.
We recognized that communities needed a single, trusted source for local service information - one that combines official data with real user experiences to help people make informed decisions about the services they use for themselves and their families.
Today, UpTheStreet serves communities across the UK, helping thousands of people every month discover and connect with local services that matter to them.
