Celebrating Sunbury Neighbour Day
Sunbury Neighbour Day is officially taking place on Sunday 29 March 2026, but given Sunbury Seniors is not open on a Sunday, we’re planning to recognise this day on Monday 30 March 2026 at 12.30pm.
The idea of this event [well, from a Sunbury Seniors’ point of view], is to get to know your senior neighbours. Getting to know your senior neighbors not only helps build community, it makes life richer, easier, and safer for everyone. They can offer support, provide valuable insights about the neighbourhood, keep a watchful eye on your property, assist with taking-in parcels and even pet-sit while you're away!
With this in mind Sunbury Seniors is holding a pizza lunch for seniors [over 55] on Monday 30 March. Yep, there’ll also be hot chips on offer and a healthy option of a platter of fruit. It’s an opportunity to check us out and if you have a senior neighbour, feel free to bring them along. Cost will be $3 per head.
For catering purposes, members please RSVP as soon as possible by text to Louise if you can attend including the number of guests you are bringing.
For catering purposes, non-members please RSVP to contactus@sunburyseniors.com.au by Friday 27 March.
Please note: It is important to stress to any guests you may bring that they are absolutely under no obligation to join Sunbury Seniors. Sunbury Neighbour Day is merely a local initiative aimed at fostering friendships and building a stronger sense of community, especially newcomers or people who might feel isolated.
