Neighbourhood Centres are like safe harbours for families

To celebrate the theme from Neighbourhood Centre Week earlier this month – “Bringing People Together – What Neighbourhood Centres Do Best” – NAPCAN has created the following poster to highlight how important this work is for families and children.  

Neighbourhood centres play a special role in building the types of communities that are best for children … where people are friendly … where children feel safe and valued … and where parents can get the support that they need.

We’d love to see our poster displayed in all neighbourhood centres, so if you’re connected to your local centre, let them know, or download a poster for them.
