Street by Street is a national neighbourhood support program that links people who live in the same street or nearby. Where two or more residents in a street are known to be in need of regular practical support from neighbours, an auspicing group will distribute a flyer in that street, inviting neighbours who wish to lend a hand to make contact, attend an information session, and begin connecting up. Organisers would like to hear from individuals and organisations around the country interested in participating in rolling out Street by Street on a national scale.

Neighbours not volunteers

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. We don’t want to surround this activity with excessive rules and regulations, nor do we want to subject participants to the usual procedures that volunteers in formal organizations are subject to. 

Street by Street is a very simple program that aims to re-kindle links between neighbours that might once have formed spontaneously but which, in our day and age, require a little facilitation. It is our intention to run Street by Street as a simple informal network, operating on a very large scale across Australia.

Community centres, service clubs, neighbourhood houses, community health centres, scout and guide groups, and voluntary associations are some of the organisations that we hope will participate in auspicing a local Street by Street initiative.
