Tell us what ‘create belonging’ means to you in 25 words or less, and go into the draw to win one of ten ‘Create Belonging’ prize packs

 

Neighbours Every Day

Neighbours Every Day (NED) is Relationships Australia’s social connection campaign promoting the benefits of social connection and building capacity for all to make and maintain respectful relationships.

Over more than 20 years, Neighbour Day (our annual call to action day) has progressed from a reminder to connect with elderly neighbours to a celebration of respectful relationships and strong communities.

During the COVID pandemic, the need for each of us to have strong social support networks has never been more apparent. So too, has been the strength and resilience we draw from others when we ‘belong’.

We can all work to create belonging: for ourselves, for our families, and for our neighbours.

We can do this by focusing on inclusion and connection, making others welcome, and by building respectful relationships with those around us.

The Neighbours Every Day campaign provides simple, practical tools to create belonging, each and every day of the year.

This competition has now closed for entries.

Testimonial
“I try not to take for granted the comfort provided by so many familiar faces, the regular kerbside greetings and spontaneous gatherings that enrich each of our lives in our neighbourhood.”

Testimonial
“I was lonely, not feeling myself and decided to reach out. A small gesture had a huge impact on each of our mental health – and you could see the relief and joy each woman felt as they returned to their homes afterwards with their heads held high, and shoulders less slumped.”
