Loneliness Awareness Week: Building Connection and Wellbeing Through Landcare

Loneliness Awareness Week: Building Connection and Wellbeing Through Landcare

This week marks both Loneliness Awareness Week (4–10 August) and Landcare Week — a timely reminder of the power of connection, community, and care. With new research showing that one in three Australians feel lonely, it’s more important than ever to create spaces where people feel seen, heard, and valued. The theme of Loneliness Awareness Week, “Moments Matter,” encourages us to reflect on how connection is built — not through grand gestures, but through small, meaningful interactions. A shared laugh, a group activity, or simply showing up can be the spark that helps someone feel they belong. Landcare offers exactly that.
