Regardless of our different faiths, abilities, cultures, nationalities, ages, orientations and even genders - we want to make sure that our communities are safe and welcoming for all.
There’s many ways to take part! From hosting a multicultural potluck where each attendee brings a dish from a country of their choice to coordinating a fundraiser that benefits refugees or our elderly there are thousands of ways big and small to make our households, neighbourhoods, schools and businesses even more inclusive. It could even be as simple as learning from a neighbour how to say ‘hello’ in their native language or ensuring local footpaths are accessible!
Don’t forget this month also coincides with Women’s Refugee Awareness Month and International Day of Friendship on July 30th - a United Nations day that promotes the role that friendship plays in promoting peace in many cultures.
Want to share your thoughts? Let us know how you’re making your community more inclusive this month by tagging us in your posts + using the following hashtag so we can see what you get up to:

Access to the wood is excellent on firm ground. Pick up is from (East) Eyreton and I'm home much of the time but it would be sensible to text me first before you come.
Please note that you will be required to sign a short form saying that you take full responsibility for your health and safety. I recommend that you use gloves and have good footwear.
Hi I am looking for Tempo wool from Lincraft in shade purple2 if anyone has any they would be willing to sell please. I am knitting a blanket and running out fast. It's no longer in store. Thank you
