At Neighbourhood Connect, we believe that living in a connected neighbourhood makes us feel happier, safer and more supported, so we’re creating a movement to bring back that lovin’ feeling across Australia and we need your help! If you’ve ever been part of a friendly neighbourhood that made you feel like you belonged, count yourself amongst the lucky ones. Research has found that one in four adults experience loneliness and our busy lifestyles mean fewer of us know and trust our neighbours than ever before. The good news is that social connections are an important antidote to loneliness, anxiety and depression and that people with good community connections are happier and experience less depression, anxiety and physical health problems. Neighbourhood Connect has taken up the challenge of reversing this loneliness trend by being a catalyst for a connected neighbourhoods movement. Our aim is to support people all over Australia to form neighbourhood groups and develop supportive relationships so all of us can feel a sense of belonging where we live. Your support will help us assist more people to connect in real life, develop useful resources to help neighbours build better relationships, share ideas and inspiration and train neighbourhood connectors. Thanks for helping!
