Little BIG Community hub
This is a place where local volunteers and community hosts come together to run a range of programs of events with the shared mission to build social connection.
Little things make a BIG difference
The Little BIG Foundation was established to tackle one of Australia’s most pressing social challenges: loneliness.
We believe everyone deserves to live a happier, healthier, and kinder life, and that starts with feeling connected to the people around us. That’s why we focus on creating opportunities for social connection through inclusive spaces, grassroots programs, and community-led events where like-minded people can come together.
Because it’s not big and extravagant occasions that build connection, it’s the little actions of everyday people, multiplied across neighbourhoods, that make a truly BIG difference.
We are a young organisation but we are already seeing great results.

Introducing the Summer Hill Little BIG House
The Summer Hill Little BIG House is our flagship neighbourhood hub. We hope you’ll find it a welcoming, safe space where you can walk in to talk, meet, share stories and laugh, sit and read a book or host your event for the community. If it’s “good for the hood”, we want you (and your ideas) here!
Get Involved
We help volunteers and community hosts to make a BIG difference in their neighbour’s lives. We are already working with a huge number of awesome locals, but they can’t do it alone. If you want to help, or have an idea or skill to share, why not volunteer? Volunteering should be easy and fun and tailored to your interests.
Understanding Loneliness
We know there is something very special about Little BIG Communities and we want to understand how neighbours create a sense of belonging in these places. Each year we ask our community to complete a survey to learn about connection, what matters most locally, and how we can better serve the community together.
Other Communities
The Little BIG Foundation is reducing loneliness by increasing social connection in residential, industrial and office communities. Whether we have a Little BIG House or a building lobby, we work with volunteers to run events that bring people together and build neighbourly ties. We aim to create a happier, healthier and kinder community for all.
