Are you that somebody?   


Hi there,

This is a special message from the Neighbour Day team which we hope will be helpful.

Yearning for a change or feeling frustrated by a situation, many of us have been known to utter - ‘why doesn’t somebody DO something about that?”
 
But how many of us have been willing to be the SOMEBODY to take the first step, and do something?
 
If you have already stepped up to run a Neighbour Day event in the past then congratulations, you’re one of those ‘Somebodies’  making a difference!
 
As a Neighbour Day host, you will have met some great people in your neighbourhood and felt the warmth and enjoyment of bringing people together. What if you could deepen those connections, so that neighbours get to know each other better, find common interests, share activities, help one another and build a lasting sense of community and belonging?
 
One of our newest Very Neighbourly Organisations national charity Neighbourhood Connect, is supporting people across Australia to form neighbourhood groups to build happier, safer and more connected communities - and they are ready to help you too.
 
Check out the stories of connection from new Community Connector, Monika, who had 39 people join her first neighbourhood open house event. Or Jenny, whose neighbourhood group have not only had regular social gatherings but helped one neighbour move into a retirement home and provided support to others who have lost spouses.
 
So if you are ready to be that ‘Somebody’ or want to take your neighbourly connections further, you can contact Neighbourhood Connect on 0413 706 233 or e-mail at Hello@NeighbourhoodConnect.org.au and they will support you to turn your street into a community.
 
Yours in neighbourliness,
Sam and the Neighbour Day Team
