Everyday is neighbour day
Whilst living with COVID in the community is the new normal, hopefully the fear of the unknown has subsided. There was a plus side to the pandemic as well. We did get to experience a sense of community caring and connectedness and had a bit more time to spend with our friends, especially outdoors. 
If you’d like to get back in touch with your neighbours, or meet some new ones Neighbour Day on the last Sunday in March, the 26th, might be just the excuse you’ve been looking for.
“Create Belonging” is the theme, and as we’ve experienced over the past few years well-connected neighbourhoods are better equipped to face and recover from emergencies and natural disasters.
The benefits of belonging extend beyond those who feel newly included. Having diverse relationships improves everyone’s relationship satisfaction, mental health and wellbeing.
On the Neighbour Day website there are ideas for simple gatherings, invitation cards, posters, calling cards, conversation cards and all sorts of information to make a simple event successful.
