The Month of Community 2022

What is it?

The Month of Community is a time when we come together to celebrate everything that makes our communities great.  It’s an opportunity to bring people of all ages in our communities together, give back, and celebrate connections between everyone in the amazing communities we live in.

There’s a flurry of activity at beginning of June with The Big Lunch (and Big Jubilee Lunch), Neighbourhood Watch Week and Volunteers Week, but the fun continues throughout the Month of Community as we get together to share friendship, have fun and support a variety of charities and causes.

• Neighbourhood Watch Week 30 May – 5 June
