Living in a big city its so easy to be disconnected. For a long time I’ve wished I knew my neighbours better but I’ve never taken any action. Well... I decided to do something about it.

I am creating an annual day called “Say ‘hey!’ to your neighbour day” which will include an event called “The Sydney-wide Neighbourhood Block Party”.

It’s about raising awareness and bringing back the beauty of friendship and connection to our experience of living in a big city.

I have started door-knocking in my street, and introducing myself to my neighbours, and without exception, every single person I speak to is excited by the idea, and is interested to contribute by either helping to organise and/or attend such an event. It is a clear reflection of support for the idea and really indicates the community’s strong desire for connection.

Please contact me to discuss leadership opportunities in the project.
