From the old village around the Tithe Barn to the newer estates and Woodmancote, TradeOff helps Cleeve neighbours swap the skills they have for the help they need. No money involved, and it's free.
Why TradeOff in Bishop's Cleeve
Bishop's Cleeve has grown quickly, bringing lots of new neighbours to an old village. TradeOff is an easy way to meet the people around you and put your skills to use.
With so many new homes in and around the village, plenty of people are still getting to know their street. Swapping a skill is a friendly way to break the ice.
Homework help, a garden tidy-up, flat-pack assembly, a birthday cake. There's a good chance someone a few streets away can do it and would be glad of something you can do in return.
Bishop's Cleeve sits just north of Cheltenham, so you can keep your swaps in the village or look further towards Prestbury and Cheltenham when you need someone more specialist.

How It Works
Tell people what you're good at and what you'd like help with. A clear description and a photo make it much easier for the right neighbour to find you.
When someone near you offers something that suits you, TradeOff lets you know. Check their profile and reviews before you get in touch.
Chat in the app, send a proposal, and once you both accept, get going. Each of you marks your part as done, so it's clear when the trade is complete.
