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.

Say Hello with John Bishop

The Say Hello campaign is all about making it that little bit easier to just, well… Say Hello.“
