Community grows strongest when people genuinely connect and that’s exactly what Global Community Engagement Day is all about.
It highlights how much we can achieve when individuals, organisations, and local groups work together to create positive change.
For GCSS, community engagement is especially important in the disability space. When people with disability, their families, and support networks are actively included in community conversations, it leads to better understanding, stronger relationships, and more accessible, person centred outcomes.
GCSS was born out of the community coming together and now, almost 50 years later we still put people and community at the heart of everything we do.
This aligns directly with the day’s goal of building healthier, more connected communities through meaningful participation.
Small actions can make a real difference, whether that’s reaching out to someone, supporting a local initiative, or sharing what community means to you.
Here’s to the everyday moments of connection that help make our community more inclusive for everyone.
