Social connection is vital for individuals' and communities' wellbeing, resilience, and empowerment. Both councils and community organisations play a crucial role in fostering these connections. However, our research highlights a common challenge: departments within organisations often operate in silos, and at times, the actions of one department can inadvertently hinder the efforts of another aiming to connect people.
This resource provides a guide with infographics, to help organisations think about the roles of different departments in creating a cohesive, cost-effective strategy for fostering social connection within communities.

We have also created a slide deck version of the organisational roles resource. This slide deck is designed to be easily integrated into your presentations, enabling you to effectively communicate the importance of cohesive departmental collaboration in fostering connected communities.
