What we’re about
Welcome to Be More Social – a grassroots movement bringing together locals, legends, and larrikins to reconnect offline in an increasingly disconnected world.
We believe time and energy are life’s real currency. But too many Aussies – and people globally – are trading them away at jobs that leave them drained and digitally distracted. We’re here to change that.
What’s the Group Goal?
Our immediate mission is to support a major not-for-profit research and wellness project: developing a mental health and emotional well-being centre in Parkwood. This includes building an AI-driven app and CRM platform designed to help people reconnect – with family, friends, community, and themselves – through our Be More Social Daily Challenge. Long term, this initiative will support schools, homes, halfway houses, and homelessness charities with free tools to promote resilience, self-worth, and social connection.
We are collecting insight, ideas, and data to shape a government grant submission that funds this vision.
Who Are We Hoping to Meet?
We’re calling on builders, tradies, sparkies, developers, designers, dog lovers, mental health advocates, and anyone with a good heart and a spare hour to give. Got IT, construction, or community experience? We want you on our side. Got stories, lived experience, or a skill you could share? Even better. You don't have to bring money, just bring your energy.
What Will You Do at Our Events?
Join us July 12–13 from midday onwards at Cowboys on the Nerang River (58 Caville ave) – the only pub on the Coast where dogs are welcome off-lead. We’ll have real convos, real people, and real plans in motion. Bring your dog, your ideas, and your open mind. Come chat with Danny Crouch (our founder in the Blue BE MORE SOCIAL T-Shirt), Pip the life-saving pup, and a group of passionate locals building something bigger than all of us.
Cover Charge - buy a drink, or buy a meal (the chicken pizza's are awesome - GF option too), or buy one for someone who may need it.
Together, we’ll explore how your unique strengths can help us finalise development estimates, platform goals, and get us one step closer to federal funding.
Whether you're a local, a backpacker, a builder, a coder, or just someone craving deeper connection, you’re welcome.
Join us. Be More Social. Simply Say "G’day."
PS. Dan and Pip also run a Friday arvo 'knock off drinks' social gathering at Cowboys every Friday from 4pm. If you're eager to find out more, see you this Friday, same bat time, same bat channel.
