Community Building

What is a Community?

A community is a group of people who share a common sense of belonging and identity. A community could be a group of people of a:

• Neighbourhood, street or block of units
• Sporting activity or work place
• Similar culture, age or lifestyle

Research shows that good neighbours help to create a safer, healthier and a more connected and stronger community. A stronger community can lead to people feeling safer in their own streets, a sense of belonging and a sense of being able to contribute to improving their neighbourhoods.
