Active Communities


Getting involved in your community is a great way to feel connected to the people around you. It will also help you to feel happier and healthier.

There are so many ways to participate. You can start by getting to know your neighbours, going along to local festivals and fetes, and having fun at the parks and recreation centres in your area.

Why not think about becoming one of Victoria’s valued volunteers? You can lend a hand and at the same time gain a sense of personal satisfaction that comes from helping others in your community.

How to be active in your community
Devoting time to your family, friends and community is a vital ingredient of keeping happy and healthy. We all need social contact and research shows that this leads to better mental health which in turn improves our physical health.

Volunteering
Volunteering is a great way to get involved with your community. You could volunteer at your local school or at an organisation like the CFA. These articles provide you with some links to organisations that are always looking for volunteers.
