The Together Project
The Together Project aims to enhance social and emotional wellbeing for residents in East Reservoir and East Preston, with a focus on those facing social exclusion and isolation. This initiative was established in response to community feedback during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The project encourages community members to support one another, engage with neighbors, and access local services. It also fosters positive changes in the community.
