Social Inclusion Week 19th - 27th November

Social Inclusion Week encourages everyone to reconnent and be inclusive of all cultures, age groups, nationalities and the disadvantaged.

Social Inclusion Week is focused on making everyone feel valued and to give people the opportunity to participate fully in society. This includes connecting with local communities, work mates, family and friends to build relationships and networks, addressing isolation and exclusion by supporting people who may be unable help themselves.

Social Inclusion Week was launched in 2009 to encourage everyone to connect, to create awareness of groups that are often isolated. These groups include; young people 12-25 years of age, jobless families with children, disadvantaged Australians, people with a disability or mental illness, people who are homeless, older people and Indigenous Australians.

Who are YOU looking out for this week?
