Our goals
We aim to build connections between community groups, share events, and foster social interactions. When we connect, we care for and support each other. Our core values are cooperation, collaboration, kindness, diversity and inclusion. Through conversations, we learn how to live these values and help others create active communities.
Our mission
We are focused on connecting people to opportunities and social experiences in the Sandringham area, supporting local groups, and building meaningful community connections.
What we do
We create a directory of community groups, share local events, and help people connect to groups that align with their interests. Our network supports small projects and encourages fun, learning, and mutual support.
As a group, we are united in the belief that participating in grassroots initiatives fosters community well-being, provides alternatives to mainstream systems and may drive societal change.
