Grab a cuppa and take the chance to make new friends in your suburb this Neighbour Day.

Neighbour Day, an annual celebration in the last week of March, aims to build stronger connections within local communities.

Join the Melton community at a free morning tea and mural unveiling on Thursday, March 28, from 10am at Stevenson House in Caroline Springs.

This year’s local focus delves into what makes people belong to the Caroline Springs community.

Since January, residents have flocked to Stevenson House to collect art supplies for the creation of a vibrant community mural.

Individual pieces were sewed together to create a unique community tapestry.

Melton Mayor Kathy Majdlik said Neighbour Day is about sharing in a sense of belonging and coming together to foster stronger community connections.

“Our community mural showcases the diverse tapestry of our City, and what connects us,” she said.

Throughout the year, Stevenson House serves as a community centre welcoming people of all backgrounds, abilities and ages.

Get involved in exciting events, sewing classes, exercise sessions, gardening initiatives seniors’ groups and much more.

Bookings are required for this free event, and any dietary requirements can be communicated on the booking form located online on the Melton Learning Directory.
