Grow Belonging 2024 Competition

Neighbours Every Day

Neighbours Every Day, Relationships Australia’s social connection campaign, invites you to create, share, and grow belonging in your community. For over 20 years, we’ve been inspiring Australians to build stronger, more resilient neighbourhoods through daily acts of connection and support. Our research shows that when people feel they belong, their well-being improves and loneliness decreases.

This year, we challenge you to go beyond creating and sharing belonging – let’s grow it together. By practicing empathy, embracing diversity, and fostering inclusive spaces, we can build lasting, respectful relationships that enrich all our lives.

The Neighbours Every Day campaign provides simple, practical tools to create belonging, every day of the year. Join us in transforming our communities, one connection at a time.

Strong communities start with you, and we want to celebrate the simple acts that grow belonging. Whether it’s hosting a street party, starting a verge garden, or just saying hello – your story could inspire others and win you a prize.

Enter below by November 18, 2024. Winners will be randomly selected.
