One hour. One human. One hand.
Promise one hour of your time in 2027 to give someone near you a hand. Then bring your +1.
An idea from Elisa, 16, near Lille. No charity, no app, no money. Just people passing the word, from one person to the next.

Nobody has asked you yet?
Normally you enter H+1 because someone close thought of you: we never write to anyone unless someone they know suggested it. If you want to start a chain yourself, leave your email and Elisa sends you your link.
How it works
- 1
Someone thinks of you
A neighbour, a colleague, a friend. You get a message on their behalf inviting you to give 1 hour in 2027.
- 2
You promise one hour
Just one, within the year, when it suits you. Something you know how to do, for someone near you.
- 3
You bring your +1s
People close to you for whom this will make sense. There is surely someone around you who would agree to give one hour. We reach out on your behalf; if they say yes, your H grows and the chain goes on.
Questions people ask us
What happens with my hour?
Honestly, we do not know yet, and we would rather tell you so. In 2026 we count the hours people promise and watch what happens when people pass the word along, from one person to the next. In 2027 we will build what comes next with you, from what you offered and from what people around you need. You will stay free to say yes or no when the time comes.
Who is behind H+1?
Elisa, a 16-year-old student in the Lille area, and her family who give her a hand. It is a citizen project, not an association or a company, just a student's initiative. Everyone involved gives their time, nobody is paid.
Your data
We keep your first name, your email and your postcode. We sell nothing and share nothing. One email erases everything.
Am I committing to anything?
To an intention, not a contract. One hour, within the year, when it suits you. And you stay free to say no when the time comes.
What counts as an hour?
Something you know how to do that someone near you does not, or has no time for. Explaining, minding, fixing, cooking, driving, keeping company, helping with a phone or a form, building, tidying, playing music. An hour is an hour.
Does it cost anything?
No, nothing, ever. Nobody is paid, everyone gives their time, and we will never ask you for money. If a message in H+1's name asks for money, it is not from us.
