Making connection count this Loneliness Awareness Week

This Loneliness Awareness Week, Logan’s community centres are reminding us that sometimes the smallest gestures can make the biggest difference. A quick message, a phone call, a coffee catch-up or an invitation to join a local activity can help someone feel valued, remembered and connected.

Across Logan, community centres create opportunities for people to come together through activities, events, support services and shared experiences.

Watch the new Community Centres video and discover ways to connect, belong and make a positive difference in your community.
