4 Weeks Of Action

The #4weeksofaction campaign is about getting informed and engaged in 4 important issues in the city. Throughout November we have lots of opportunities for you to get involved and take action in your city.
Can you spare a few hours to help out on one of these important issues, learning more about the problems and causes and what you can do to make a difference?

The main issues are: Mental Health, Food Poverty, Refugees & Asylum Seekers, and Homelessness

There are lots of one-off opportunities so you can help out without making a long-term commitment. There will also be lots of buzz on our social media channels!
