The Little BIG House
The Little BIG House is our community hub.
It’s a welcoming, safe space where you can walk in to meet people, learn a new skill or just hang out. Connecting with our neighbours and the diverse community around us is important in creating a happier, healthier and kinder community.
Located at 16 Flour Mill Way in Summer Hill, it really is a Little house nestled amongst the surrounding apartments, where BIG things happen.
Our values
At the Little BIG Foundation, our values guide everything we do. They shape how we connect, care, and create opportunities for people to feel seen, supported, and part of a thriving community.
Happier
Better connected, more resilient communities engage life’s joys, seek out fun and create happiness. We thrive in the small moments which make life worth living.
Healthier
We are increasing endorphins, dopamine, adrenaline and knowledge about how to have a healthy body and a healthy mind.
Kinder
Little moments of connection can have the biggest impact on how someone is feeling. Regular kindness here ripples into the rest of the world.
Awards
We’re proud of the awards and external recognition we’ve received, as they affirm the impact of what we’ve created together. Mostly, we are proud of our wider community continue to achieve. It’s not just Little BIG, we are part of a wider connected community.

Our name – little actions, big impact
What is in a name? For us, a lot! The name ‘Little BIG’ reflects the belief that small actions can create a big difference in people’s lives. It captures the power of everyday gestures, like a kind word or stepping up to lead a local event, tin an effort to tackle a big problem, like loneliness.
