“Were all in this together”
Our mission is to help Australians better connect with their community.
We do this by providing a free website that helps individuals find highly localised events and activities.
Simply enter your postcode, and you will find...
Thousands of local events and activities
Covering all categories and interests
For all suburbs
Enter your postcode or suburb
Here are just some of the events and activities you can find...
We are a small group of highly motivated individuals.
Developed proprietary technology that is capable of scanning and indexing thousands of websites for
new events and activities every 10 minutes
Secured initial funding to develop the technology and launch the website
Designed a professional, user-friendly interface
And we have achieved some pretty amazing things...
When the website launches in June 2010, it will detail over 8,000 local events and activities.
This will make aroundyou.com.au the most comprehensive event and activity directory...
In Australia
But this is just the beginning...
By June 2011, we expect to have over 40,000 events and activities listed.

Participating in social and recreational activities not only generates a sense of belonging to the community
and respect for diversity....
But it is also good for your health.
A 2003 National Heart Foundation study identified social isolation as a significant risk factor for heart
disease and increased mortality.
and its impact on wellbeing is of equal significance as the higher profile risk factors such as smoking and obesity.
