Belonging Co has been founded by Mantej Singh in 2025. Mantej brings to this work extensive experience across community engagement, social outcomes, placemaking, diversity and inclusion. He has driven complex inclusion outcomes and won awards and recognition for his work.

Belonging Co was founded from a simple but deeply held belief: belonging is not a ‘nice to have’ — it is foundational to thriving communities, effective institutions and meaningful social impact.

For Mantej, this belief did not emerge overnight. It has been shaped over many years through lived experience, professional practice and close work with communities, public institutions and leaders grappling with complexity, diversity and change.

Long before Belonging Co existed, Mantej was asking the same question that still drives the work today:

“Who gets to belong — and who is being left out by the way our systems, spaces and organisations are designed? How do we increase community participation?”
