Community Connection
We know that connected communities are safer communities. How can you connect in your community?Be Neighbourly
It is always a great time to connect with your neighbours, or introduce yourself if you haven’t already done so.
Use our Hey There Neighbour cards to introduce yourself or invite your neighbour for a coffee on the curb (whilst maintaining social distancing rules).
If you’re feeling extra neighbourly bake a batch of cookies or a meal and leave it for your neighbour at their door.
Spread Kindness
Kindness is free, sprinkle it as far and wide as possible.
Wave at a neighbour from your fence or check in on them to see how they’re doing.
Call a friend you haven’t connected with in a while.
Help your children to paint or draw cards for their neighbours or for residents at a nursing home.
Purchase treats from a local business and share with your colleagues or friends.
Connect Online
The internet is a great means of connecting with loved ones when you can’t be together physically.
Grandparents can use video chat to read a story to their grandchildren.
Use an online video program like Skype or Zoom to host a virtual celebration, game night or exercise group session.
Start a virtual book club - pick a book, grab some friends and then meet up online to discuss.
