Community starts at your front door

Neighbour Day on 27 March 2016 is Australia’s annual celebration of community. Held on the last Sunday in March every year, it’s a day to remind ourselves to build better relationships with the people who live around us, especially the elderly and vulnerable.

Neighbour Day brings together like-minded people, resources and organisations to grow stronger, well connected communities. Social connection makes us feel better – it helps prevent loneliness, isolation and depression. The aim of Neighbour Day is to grow this ethos beyond a single day to every day of the year.

Neighbour Day is organised by Relationships Australia. For more information, to check out the photography competition winners and to register your own event, go to their website.
