The Vyouz Network is THE platform for positive social,
economic and environmental change!

Helping to reduce the impact on the future of our planet by developing innovative, eco-friendly brands as genuine "tools for change" is the key aim and vision of all those involved with The Vyouz Network. Most of our concepts directly address ways to help protect the future of our planet.

Free Websites

Our many FREE websites provide the tools required to reuse, recycle, give away & swap everyday unwanted items as well as reduce CO2 footprints, share transport and even trade carbon free offsets.

Classifieds Websites

Our classified services support our free websites including GivAid - the charitable arm of the network. All sites have a unique association with our free eco sites and include added benefits and features compared to using standard classified websites.

Social Networking

With our own turbo-charged social networking engine, The Vyouz Network provides the ideal platform to meet and make friends with like-minded individuals who genuinely care about our planet.

Our Infrastructure

The Vyouz Network is hosted using 100% renewable energy. Our servers are powered solely by wind, water and solar power in accordance with the Renewable Energy Certification System (RECS). Our choice of software also plays a critical role in saving electrical power. Based on Linux, our operating system uses server resources efficiently, saving valuable energy. Our Head Office in Chesterfield even has an environmentally friendly wind turbine! Our use of renewable energy technologies reduces hazardous greenhouse gas emissions compared with conventional power plants.

Our Ethos

Our ethos is simple - your views ("vyouz") count. That's why we always welcome your comments and feedback. If you feel we could do something better just send us a message via our contacts page and we'll see what we can do to help out.

See it. Say it. Change it.
