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 ran events and initiatives all throughout June. It was a fantastic month full of community connections.
