The Social Local Collective : Our mission is to provide opportunities for intentional connection and fun to improve community wellbeing and health outcomes for everyone. Have you wept buckets of tears watching Aged Care for 4 year olds or Teenagers? This program, among other things, is our inspiration for starting a not for profit to help people connect more easily and to build better connected communities. We really believe no one should be lonely & it is something we can do something about. It is about improving not only our own lives but also about those of everyone in our community! We have plans to build a better connected communityies by working together with a sense of purpose to make a difference, and to build a culture of kindness. To feel connected we need to feel seen, heard and valued. One of the key things is also understanding the physical outworking of loneliness. There is proof that loneliness and social isolation lead to reduced health outcomes. Stats around loneliness One in 4 Australians are lonely. Half of those surveyed (50%) sometimes or always feel alone. Nearly 55% of the population feel they lack companionship at least sometimes. This number is highest in young adults (62%) compared to seniors (46%). Nearly 30% of Australians rarely or never feel part of a group of friends. Loneliness increases the likelihood of experiencing depression by 15.2% Social isolation significantly increases a person’s risk of premature death from all causes, a risk that may rival those of smoking, obesity, and physical inactivity. We are seeking volunteers for many roles within our new not-for-profit organisation. We are looking for people to join our volunteer board, those with financial, IT, governance, & start up skills. We are not short on ideas however we will need a team to help us make these ideas a reality and to really make a difference to our communities.
