In this episode of Helping Hands, we see the Little BIG House breaking through the barriers of loneliness and isolation, and creating deep and meaningful community connections.
“The Little BIG House is our neighbourhood hub,” says Sarah Mathews, CEO of the Little BIG Foundation. "It’s a place where people come together. We have ninety events a month." Everything is based around creating connection and meeting your neighbours and bringing people together.
“Community is at the core of who we are,” says sports chaplain, Raewyn Elsegood. “For me, it starts with home and family and then it edges out to what I’m most passionate about.”
Raewyn is joined for this Helping Hands panel discussion by psychologist, Collett Smart, and teacher, Rod Braine, to discuss what a caring community looks like and how we can identify and create the kind of community we want to belong to.
Keith Garner, Collett Smart and Nathan Brewer join host Laura Bennett to discuss the benefits of being part of a vibrant and life-giving community to both the community and the individuals.
