Regardless of our different faiths, abilities, cultures, nationalities, ages, orientations and even genders - we want to make sure that our communities are safe and welcoming for all.
There’s many ways to take part! From hosting a multicultural potluck where each attendee brings a dish from a country of their choice to coordinating a fundraiser that benefits refugees or our elderly there are thousands of ways big and small to make our households, neighbourhoods, schools and businesses even more inclusive. It could even be as simple as learning from a neighbour how to say ‘hello’ in their native language or ensuring local footpaths are accessible!
Don’t forget this month also coincides with Women’s Refugee Awareness Month and International Day of Friendship on July 30th - a United Nations day that promotes the role that friendship plays in promoting peace in many cultures.
Want to share your thoughts? Let us know how you’re making your community more inclusive this month by tagging us in your posts + using the following hashtag so we can see what you get up to:

Reduced to Clear specialises in clearance food and general merchandise where customers can save up to 80% off normal RRP. It does this by purchasing end of lines, change of packaging, short-dated and cancelled export orders from local suppliers and then sells it to the public at heavily reduced prices.
The stock changes every day as they get new clearance stock in to sell. They have a range of frozen, chilled, and dry grocery lines and look out for the weekend specials as this is normally when all the yoghurts and specialty cheese are in stock.
They also stock the cheapest milk in town including the old fashioned silver top. By shopping at Reduced To Clear you know you are also helping save the planet as RTC saves thousands of tonnes of food from going to waste per annum.

Hi Neighbours, If you've wondered what it is like to find your home is in the (possibly, possibly not) path of a future highway, read the story below for my experience of getting that letter.

Climate change is the most critical issue of the moment, and has been described by our prime minister as her generation's "nuclear-free moment". Its impacts, regardless of your views on it, are only going to get greater.
Yet it is not part of our school curriculum.

Yet it is not part of our school curriculum.
Some experts say that has to change. It is such an existential threat that not to make it a requirement to teach children about climate change is doing them a great disservice, they say.

I'm going to start a podcast but also collect views for a website. I'm looking for people to interview, either face-to-face or via Skype. The starting question is: "Would You Move To Planet Earth?". There would have to be reasons why you need to leave your home planet now but the idea is to explore your thoughts about where our planet is now and where it might be heading. Are concerns hoaxes, critical or somewhere in between? I won't steer you with my views - it's your perspective that I want. You can contact me at mark.findlayrd@gmail.com. I promise to be patient, polite and appreciative, all rolled into one!
