Month of Community
The Month of Community is a time to come together to celebrate everything that makes our communities great.
Millions of people take part every June to cheers volunteers, connect with their neighbours, welcome refugees, support carers, raise awareness of loneliness, or simply to say thank you.
In 2024, our amazing partners will run events and initiatives all throughout June. We can’t wait to get started!
Say Hello with John Bishop
“It feels to me like the days of saying hello to strangers in the street, on a bus, or at the park have sadly pretty much become a thing of the past.
The Say Hello campaign is all about making it that little bit easier to just, well… Say Hello.“
