Street by street Recovering the practice, and art, of neighbourliness
Street by Street is a national neighbourhood support program that links people who live in the same street or nearby.
The focus is on practical helping tasks such as taking the bin in and out, hanging washing, getting a few items from the shops, or getting mail from the letter box.

Street by street
We would like to hear from individuals and organisations around the country interested in participating in rolling out Street by Street on a national scale.
Community centres, service clubs, neighbourhood houses, community health centres, scout and guide groups, and voluntary associations are some of the organisations participating in auspicing a local Street by Street initiative.

Our goal is 100 auspiced Street by Street groups by the end of 2011 and 1000 by the end of 2012.
Neighbours not volunteers
Participants in a Street by Street link-up are not volunteers, they are people in a voluntary relationship with their neighbours, as neighbours.
The aim of Street by Street is to recover the practice, and art, of neighbourliness. We don't want to surround this activity with rules and regulations, nor do we want to subject participants to the usual procedures that volunteers in formal organizations are subject to.
Street by Street is a very simple program that aims to re-kindle links between neighbours that might once have formed spontaneously but which, in our day and age, require a little facilitation. It is our intention to run Street by Street as a simple informal network, operating on a very large scale across Australia.
