Neighbours Helping Neighbours
Growing the supportive communities we all want to live in.
What is Neighbours Helping Neighbours (NHN)?
Everyone appreciates having a neighbour they can easily ask for a simple favour or whom they could call on in an emergency. Neighbours are always close by–and so are uniquely positioned to create communities of mutual support!
Unfortunately, neighbours often don’t know each other well enough to feel comfortable reaching out. Neighbours Helping Neighbours is a collaborative initiative that brings neighbours together to meet, do fun activities, and learn about simple ways they can look out for and assist one another.
