Russian term or phrase: Жизнь рядом
Как бы вы перевели на англ укр название организации Життя поряд (Жизнь рядом/жизнь рядом). Моя знакомая обратилась ко мне за советом, как лучше на английский перевести. Это социальная организация которая будет заниматься проблемой бездомных и домашних животных, а также культурой городского озеленения(в общем разными социальными вопросами).

Community Life


Explanation:
Or "Neighborhood Life". I don't really like either - they sound very generic. A lot of charitable work like you describe is done by community/neighborhood foundations (or organizations, societies, associations, etc.). So I think the title should include either "neighborhood" or "community", if you want to emphasize the "togetherness" and "local" aspects.

"Life Nearby" sounds rather awkward as a name for an organization. "Life Side-By-Side" or "Life Hand-in-Hand" both sound like a slogan to me.

However, changing the name entirely (rather than trying to translate it directly), would be your best option. That way, you can choose something that doesn't sound awkward or generic, and reflects the organization's main aims.

United We Stand


Explanation:
"United we stand, divided we fall" is a phrase used in many different kinds of mottos, most often to inspire unity and collaboration. Its core concept lies in the collectivist notion that if individual members of a certain group with binding ideals – such as a union, coalition, confederation or alliance – work on their own instead of as a team, they are each doomed to fail and will all be defeated. The phrase is also often referred to with only the words "United we stand".

Life around you


Explanation:
This makes sense in here,
Life around you

This context should be rendered creatively, it is more than translation. It is transcreation. It should be short, not literal and direct and must cover all.
The meaning of this context is that you should care for animals (for ex. stray dogs) and get engaged in landscaping by lending your helping hand.
I believe "Life around you" is short and depicts what you want.

Don't be indifferent about what is happening around your house and neighborhood.

If we say "Community life" it would be too general, and if we say "Neighbourhood life" it is also general and it could mean the people and their social life as well.

Just stand still for a few minutes and observe what you can see, hear and smell.You will findthat you are not alone. You will feel that there are many things around you, many happenings etc. depending on the environment you stay. However, keep in mind that there are morethat you have not detected or encountered.Since you are part of the environment of your home garden you will not face manyproblems to detect those. Also, since the animals are habituated to some extent to your presence you will be more successful in collecting information.If you makea checklist of things you see, smell and hearwhile you are in your home garden;you would have heardbirds chirping & singing, squirrels squeaking, bees humming, people chatting, winds gushingetc.You mighthave smeltexcreta of cats, urine of dogs, burning of dead leaves, cooking in kitchens, etc.You may have seenfeathersof birdsonthe lawn, droppings of geckos, shredded skin of snakes, nest of birds, etc. What do all these things tell you? There is life around youin the home garden.
