Welcome to our Open Source Space for the Inclusive Activation Series created by Befriend! 💛
Befriend is a not-for-profit organisation based in Perth, Western Australia. We’re all about empowering local people to take charge of their communities! We believe that the best communities are created from within, by the people who live and work there. That’s why we exist – to support and encourage amazing people just like you to take the lead in building the kind of community you want to see.
We are delighted to have you here, as part of our growing community committed to fostering inclusivity and creating positive change. This space is designed to be a collaborative hub where knowledge, insights, experiences, and stories related to the Inclusive Activation Series can be freely shared and exchanged. Whether you're a participant, facilitator, or someone interested in promoting inclusivity, we invite you to engage and learn through this vibrant platform. Together, let's create a supportive and inclusive environment where everyone's voice is heard, valued, and celebrated. Your active participation will play a vital role in empowering individuals and organisations to create lasting impact and cultivate open-hearted communities. Welcome aboard 🌞
