Just Say Hello - more events are planned for 2024
“It’s so nice to meet people on the Estate over tea, we see each other every day but don’t talk to each other. I’m sure it will be more than a nod next time.” Resident
Back in December over 80 residents came along to the Bernie Cameron Community Centre to join our Just Say Hello event and get to know one another a bit more. Just Say Hello is a new local campaign about encouraging conversations and connecting with one other, to reduce social isolation and loneliness. Following the success of our first gathering, we’re looking to host another event later in the year. We’ll keep you posted on the details.
