Hello!
Hi! I’m Parul. I started This is Hbg as a way to share helpful info, events, and little everyday things happening in Helsingborg.
I moved here a few years ago and quickly realized how hard it can be to find local updates in English. So this page became my way of collecting and sharing things I wish I had known earlier.
It’s not official, and I don’t represent the city — just one person trying to make Helsingborg feel a little more welcoming, one post at a time.
I’m really grateful to Helsingborgs Stad for supporting the start of this project through the Vision Fund. Once the project officially ended, I knew I didn’t want to stop the support it gives to the community. I also knew I didn’t want to monetize it. So in full transparency - this is just my way of giving back. I run it in my free time, using my own time and resources.
A little about me: I wear many hats. My background is in disability and human rights, and I’ve worked with some wonderful organisations across the Global South. I’m originally from India and moved to Helsingborg in 2017.
I currently work with Contentor, a content and translation company based in Helsingborg. I also sit on the board of Helsingborg International Connections and co-founded Kulturrummet, a nonprofit that curates and produces art, design, and cultural programs, and addresses social and environmental issues through creative activities.
If you enjoy what I do, you can support the project here: buymeacoffee.com/thisishbg — it would mean a lot. And of course, I always welcome tips and recommendations from others. If there’s something you think should be shared, please feel free to reach out.
It's been really special to see this little project mentioned in a few places over the years:
