Street by Street is a national neighbourhood support program that links people who live in the same street or nearby. The focus is on practical helping tasks such as taking the bin in and out, hanging washing, getting a few items from the shops, or getting mail from the letter box.
Participants in a Street by Street link-up are not volunteers they are people in a voluntary relationship with their neighbours, as neighbours. The aim of Street by Street is to recover the practice and art of neighbourliness to re-kindle links between neighbours that might once have formed spontaneously but which, in our day and age, require a little facilitation.
The Community Building National Network would like to hear from individuals and organisations around the country interested in participating in rolling out Street by Street.
