Neighbours Day - This Sunday



Good neighbours are vital to any community, but with increasingly busy lives we often neglect to build relationships with those living nearby.

Sunday 27th March is Neighbour Day to celebrate our neighbours.

Participating in Neighbour Day is easy: just say g’day to the people living next door, or make a special effort to introduce yourself to the older residents in your street and anyone living alone. Swap telephone numbers for use in an emergency and help us build a safer, more connected community.


Some other suggestions for getting involved -invite them for a cup of tea, barbeque or picnic at a local park.


The sense of community that comes from being connected with your neighbours can provide many benefits including an increased sense of security, particularly for older or vulnerable people and developing friendships amongst children and adults.

Enjoy NEIGHBOUR DAY on Sunday!
