Neighbourhood Centre Week is a nationwide initiative held annually in May to celebrate the vital role and impact of local Neighbourhood and Community Centres.
This year, the theme for Queensland is ‘The heart of our community’.
From the 12th to 18th May, Neighbourhood Centres celebrated in various ways, from community meals to community murals. The week united communities across Queensland by connecting people in a statewide celebration while saying thank you and encouraging Queenslanders to celebrate the amazing work of Neighbourhood Centres. Centres have been on the frontline, supporting their communities through everything from cost–of–living challenges to natural disasters.
