Australian Poverty Week 2025, Why We’re Focusing on the Wrong Things

Poverty Week shines a spotlight on rising hardship across Australia, but here in Norlane, poverty isn’t new — it’s generational. Statistics might start the conversation, but they don’t tell the whole story. Real change begins when local people lead local solutions, and neighbourhoods are trusted to shape their own future.

Place, People, and the Power of Listening

Lasting change doesn’t begin with programs or strategies—it begins with people. Every neighbourhood carries its own story, shaped by culture, history, and resilience. At The Good Neighbourhood Project, we’ve learned that when we listen deeply, honour local voices, and build on what’s already strong, we create change that is not done to a community, but built with it.

Shared Meals, Shared Stories: How Food Brings People Together

In Norlane, we’ve seen time and time again how food brings people together — not just to eat, but to connect, to share stories, and to build something bigger than ourselves. Whether it’s a weekly dinner, a café shift, or a neighbour’s BBQ, these shared meals remind us that we all belong. And while food brings warmth and joy, it also points to something deeper: that everyone deserves access to good food, connection, and community.
