For 2019, Neighbour Day's annual theme is 'Loneliness - What neighbours can do.'

Friday, 25 January 2019

For 2019, Neighbour Day’s annual theme is
‘Loneliness --
             - What neighbours can do.’
Neighbour Day is Australia’s annual celebration of community,
encouraging people to connect with those who live in their
neighbourhood.
Whether through a cuppa, a picnic in the park, or a message of support; Neighbour
Day is the perfect opportunity to say thanks for being a great neighbour and for
being there to lend a hand.
The principal aim of Neighbour Day is to build better relationships with the people
who live around us, especially the elderly and vulnerable. Neighbour Day resources
and e-kit available at http://neighbourday.org/resources/neighbour-day-kit/

Do you want to be part of an online national
movement?
We’re pleased to say we’re part of the Be Connected Network

out of going online.
You can get free support and training to help you to learn the basics of how to use a
digital device, be safe online, send emails, use Facebook and other social media,
shop online, share holiday photos with family, and much more. You can create your
own learning plan on the website, and progress at your own pace either at home or
here with us.

If you are over 50 years of age and this sounds like something you’d like to be part
