Benefits of knowing your neighbours better

Knowing your neighbours can have a big impact on your life and the community. In Logan, building strong relationships with those who live nearby can lead to many benefits that improve both individual wellbeing and community harmony. Here are some key advantages:

Benefit	Description
Enhanced sense of security	Neighbours look out for each other, creating a safer environment and reducing crime rates by reporting suspicious activities. They can also help during emergencies. Visit our Preparing for an emergency page for more information.

Improved quality of life	Social interaction with neighbours reduces loneliness and boosts well-being, making life more enjoyable and fulfilling.
