The Hello. campaign, launched in 2019 to foster social connection across the Latrobe Valley, is a popular community-led initiative developed by the Latrobe Health Assembly. At its heart is the power of one simple word — "hello" — to brighten someone's day, spark a conversation, and reduce the burden of loneliness.
