More than 100 community members came through the doors of the Glass House Community Hall on Saturday March 23 to celebrate Neighbours Day and connect with the many community groups in the district.
Making new connections and reconnecting was the aim for the day and on show were the offerings of 25 local community groups that provided opportunities to socialise and join with others to make a difference. The Glass House Neighbourhood Centre, Rural Fire Service, Uniting Church and Community Hall came together to create an opportunity for groups and people new to the area to chat and connect over morning tea and a Rotary sausage sizzle.
Supported by the ‘We recover better together’ project, this event provided a wonderful platform for local community groups to become better connected. Gatherings like these also strengthen community bonds, networks and resilience – allowing the community to recover better following times of need.
