Social Threads

Connection In Every Thread

Loneliness Is A Solvable Problem. That’s Why We Exist.

1 in 3 Australians feel lonely.

Loneliness affects wellbeing as much as smoking 15 cigarettes a day.

We’re changing that. One workshop at a time.

What We Do

Social Threads runs free workshops in the community that strengthen social connection and combat loneliness.

Our workshops are welcoming, practical, and designed to help people feel more connected in everyday life.

We also deliver tailored workshops for organisations, allowing us to sustainably fund free community programs while creating healthier, more connected teams.
