Start a conversation today.
Strong, vibrant and connected communities are healthy communities. Get to know your local community. Connect with your local government. Explore your local groups and sporting clubs. And think about how you can help to create a friendlier, safer and healthier place for everyone.
Raising strong, healthy and happy children is important to all of us. Think about the messages children encounter, the places where they spend their time; and the role models they admire.

You have the power to make a difference.
