Built with
expertise and heart
Every decision made with care. Every feature built to make a difference.
Hi 👋 We are Socialheads.
Support should not live on the same screen as harm. We're building a safer home for everyday conversations between young people and the people who care for them—one that feels familiar to use but carries the safeguards, audit trails, and oversight that services need.
Every feature we build is shaped by the people who will use it. We work directly with practitioners, young people, organisations, and safeguarding experts to make sure Socialheads solves real problems in meaningful ways. This is research-led, co-designed technology—not adapted consumer tools.
Our team brings decades of experience building digital tools for charities and social care. We understand the sector because we've worked in it. We know what it takes to create technology that practitioners trust and young people feel safe using.
We're a social impact company with B Corp articles, bootstrapping our way forward—laying each brick with care. We're ready for pilots in the UK with clear governance, GDPR compliance, and safeguarding protocols already in place.
But we can't do this alone. To reach every young person who needs safer digital support, we need the backing of foundations, trusts, and charities who share our vision. This is a mission worth investing in—one that will transform how care is delivered across the UK.
We're actively seeking partners, grants, and funding to accelerate our growth. If your organisation supports innovation in social care, safeguarding, or youth services, we'd love to talk about how we can work together to make this a reality.
“Our mission is to create a safer, more connected future for young people and practitioners.”

Founder story
Hi! I’m Jeremy, the founder of Socialheads. As a lead developer at Comic Relief, Save the Children and Barnardo’s, I’ve seen firsthand how the right digital tools can transform young people’s lives.
Throughout my career, I’ve worked alongside care professionals who are dedicated to making a difference but often struggle with outdated systems that don’t support the way they need to work.
My mission is to change the trajectory of young people’s lives by giving care professionals the support and tools they need to help them thrive.
If you share this vision and want to be part of creating meaningful change, I’d love to hear from you.
