Community & Belonging

In Alexandria, community isn’t just a word - it’s a way of life.
Here, we greet each other by name, share stories over coffee and show up for one another when it matters most. From the heart of the town to its farmlands, reaching out to the townships and coastal edges, belonging is woven into every moment - in the laughter of local events, the pride of shared history and the warmth that welcomes every visitor like family.

The Spirit of Belonging

Our strength lies in unity - people coming together to build, celebrate and grow.
Through our local schools, sports clubs, churches, events and community initiatives, Alexandria remains a town where connection runs deep. It’s a place that invites you to belong - whether you’ve lived here all your life, returned home after years away or are discovering it for the first time.


Belonging here means being part of something bigger, a community rooted in care, faith and shared values. We celebrate milestones together, uplift each other in hard times and create spaces where everyone young and old has a voice.

Whether it’s volunteering for a local clean-up, attending music fesivals, joining a church service, attending imigidi celebration or simply waving to a neighbour on a morning walk - it’s these simple acts that shape the heart of Alexandria.

Community Activities:

  • Local events calendar with festivals, sports and market days

  • Volunteer and learnership opportunities

  • Creative workshops

  • Church and family gatherings that bring everyone together

There’s a place for you in Alexandria.

Join our community events, become part of our initiatives or share your story because every voice adds to who we are.
