Liverpool Neighbours Day

In Liverpool we are committed to making all of our neighbourhoods friendlier places where everyone feels they belong and where every person is welcomed, included and involved. To help us achieve this we are encouraging all citizens to become engaged with the European Neighbours Day project www.european-neighbours-day.eu that takes place every year throughout Europe on the last Tuesday of May. Here in the UK we are celebrating with our neighbours during an entire week, from 24th-30th May 2009.

The idea is very simple - to get to know your neighbours by name, and to meet them over a cup of tea, a shared meal or a glass of wine and some cheese. Most of us are decent people who would welcome the chance to meet our neighbours but many of us are rather shy and insecure when it comes to making the first move. Neighbours Day gives everyone the excuse they have been waiting for!

Download the materials we have prepared or ask for them to be sent out to you. These will explain what to do and help you invite your neighbours to an event you are planning.

If you would like copies sent to you email end@liverpool.gov.uk

If you would like to tell us about your event either before it happens or afterward you can emial the details to us by follwoing the link below. 

Please complete this form and tell us what you plan to do/did for Liverpool Neighbours Day during 24-30th May 2009.

A great follow-up to even a brief chat with your neighbours during Neighbours Week would be to get involved with the whole nation on Sunday 19th July and organise a Big Lunch in your street or area. www.thebiglunch.com
