FOCUS AREA: COMMUNITY CONNECTEDNESS & VULNERABILITY _
We are committed to creating opportunities for everyone in Latrobe to connect and participate.
This includes, but is not limited to, activities focussed on social connection, pride of place, marginalised communities, accessibility, inclusion and safety.
Community Connectedness is all about the relationships we build with others, whether it’s chatting with a friend over coffee or sharing a laugh with a group. These connections give us a sense of belonging, support, and understanding. They’re what make us feel like we’re part of a community. At the Latrobe Health Assembly, this is one of our four Priority Areas.
Community Connectedness & Vulnerability projects underway
