Neighbour Day is Relationships Australia’s social connection campaign.

It aims to support and enable sustainable respectful relationships across communities, while also helping to address loneliness across the nation.

Neighbour Day has progressed from a reminder to connect with elderly neighbours, to an annual celebration of respectful relationships and strong communities.

Help us celebrate the 20-year anniversary of Neighbour Day and build the communities you want to live in.

The theme for 2022 is: Connecting Communities for 20 years.

The Felltimber Community Centre supports the national Neighbour Day initiative each year through providing a free community event that is a family friendly, provides a free community lunch, and a variety of activities to encourage our local community to come together and get to know each other as a means to reduce social isolation and loneliness, particularly in our seniors. neighbourday.org
