Neighbours Every Day
Neighbours Every Day is a national initiative by Relationships Australia that encourages people to build stronger connections, create a sense of belonging and help reduce loneliness in their communities.
The City of Albany supports Neighbours Every Day by helping local residents and community groups bring people together through simple activities and events.

About Neighbours Every Day
Neighbours Every Day is an initiative of Relationships Australia. It encourages people to create, share and grow belonging through everyday actions that strengthen connection and respectful relationships.
A neighbour doesn't have to be someone who lives next door. They can be someone in your street, workplace, wider community or another community you belong to.
