'The community you want starts at your front door'

The Salvation Army Bellarine Peninsula is participating and encouraging everyone in the Peninsula to take part in this years Neighbour Day on Sunday March 27. 

About

Neighbour Day is Australia's annual celebration of community, bringing together the people next door, across the street or on the next farm for a barbie or just a cuppa.

Held on the last Sunday in March every year, it's the perfect day to say" thanks for being a great neighbour" and "for being there when I needed you most". 

Five Principal Aims

1. Strengthen communities and build better relationships with the people who live around us.

2. Create safer, healthier and more vibrant suburbs and towns.

3. Promote tolerance, respect and understanding.

4. Break down community barriers.

5. Protect the elderly, the vulnerable and the disadvantaged. 

How to Celebrate Your Community

It's easy to participate in Neighbour Day because how you celebrate is entirely up to you. Australians have been getting to know their neighbours since 2003 in many different ways. Whether it's a simple cup of tea and a slice of cake with an older neighbour, hosting drinks and nibbles with the people next door or having a party for everyone in your street participation is easy.
