Dear Very Neighbourly Organisations,

I am writing to all our Very Neighbourly Organisations (VNOs) to seek your valuable input and assistance; invite you to save the date for the next online VNO meeting in 2022 - and also share some good news!

YOUR VOICE MATTERS
Relationships Australia is partnering with Griffith University in Australia, as well as Relate UK and the University of Worcester UK as part of this important international research. We’ve entered phase 2 of the research and want to ensure all Australians have the opportunity to share their experience, and to have the Australian experience strongly represented in the research.

As we move into the festive season, we would like to pause and reflect on how our relationships have been affected by the global pandemic. Let’s learn together and acknowledge the importance of building and nurturing respectful relationships, while we explore some of the longer-term impacts of COVID.
 
Regardless of where you live, who you are, if you’ve lived in areas of lockdown or if you’ve lived in areas with more freedoms, your experience and your voice matters - and we’d love for you, your teams, and your communities, to participate in our international study and share in the Australian story.
 
Please lend your voices and participate in Families Un-locked here and if you can, please encourage those around you to participate as well. Your voice matters.
