Good Neighbour App

Community Connectedness, belonging and caring for each other has been fundamental to human wellbeing. In recent decades, our society has moved to replace the importance of human connectedness and mutual support with self-reliance. This has resulted in ever increasing incidences of loneliness, isolation and mental health challenges. Happy Community Project Limited www.happycommunityproject.com was incorporated in 2014. It’s purpose is to increase social connectedness, belonging and caring in communities. Communities that have strong social connectedness, belonging and a culture of looking out for fellow community members has been the foundation of human wellbeing since humans. The Good Neighbour App developed by the Happy Community Project provides citizens a way to make these connections so that they have the social, belonging, mental and physical support they require to live well being lives in their homes. The Good Neighbour App allows Happy Community Project Limited to reach out to people across Canada with a practical way to facilitate these kind of connection.
