London, UK – Hikinjo, a new sharing economy platform, has launched in the UK with the goal of combatting loneliness amongst the elderly and eliminating bullying on social media platforms. With a focus on security and safety, Hikinjo provides a platform for neighbours to share resources, reduce costs, lower carbon emissions, and build a sense of community.
According to a report by Age UK, over 2 million people in England aged 75 and over live alone, and 1.9 million older people often feel invisible or ignored. Hikinjo intends to provide a solution by creating an opportunity for elderly people to connect with nearby users, share a coffee and enjoy celebrating moments. This initiative aims to reduce loneliness and foster a sense of community among the elderly population in the UK.
Additionally, cyberbullying on social media platforms is a growing problem, especially among teenagers. According to a report by the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children (NSPCC), 1 in 5 young people in the UK have experienced bullying on social media platforms. Hikinjo intends to create a positive and progressive culture that eliminates bullying and negative social noise while providing a structured and secure platform for a better future.
Hikinjo’s platform offers a secure environment for people to engage in services while reducing waste and promoting a circular economy. The platform also provides an opportunity for people to earn extra income by sharing their skills and services with their community. Through its unique approach, Hikinjo is motivating neighbourhoods and communities with unlimited opportunities to solve their daily needs among their trusted community members in a much viable, secure, and sustainable way.
“At Hikinjo, we believe that communities are stronger when they come together to share resources,” said Adriana Lyon-Shaw, CMO of Hikinjo. “Loneliness is a serious issue in the UK, and we hope to get the attention of the loneliness minister Baroness Barran to the issue of communities being torn apart. Hikinjo is committed to bringing neighbours together to create more connected and vibrant communities.”
On top of profile verifications, transactions on Hikinjo are protected via Escrow, a financial and legal agreement designed to protect buyers and sellers when transacting through the platform. This ensures that all transactions are secure and gives users peace of mind when sharing resources with their neighbours.
Hikinjo is available for download on both iOS and Android devices, and users can sign up for free. For more information about Hikinjo and its services, visit the company’s website at https://hikinjo.com.
