Neighbourhood Watch initiatives at Jubilee are an important way of combatting burglary, theft and vandalism through a collective effort of supervising our homes and immediate environment, helping reduce the opportunity for thieves to steal desirable goods. Neighbourhood Watch helps reassure our residents of their safety and demonstrates the strong community spirit that flows through Jubilee! It’s about keeping an eye out for your neighbours and neighbourhood but importantly building a true sense of belonging which builds security in everyone having good relationships within the community.

Community developed interest groups are important resources that provide a sense of shared meaning and purpose for individuals and families. The ongoing introduction of interest groups at Jubilee, which could include walking, yoga or craft, will be an effective way in building and sustaining social connectedness and greater well-being, both emotionally and physically for our residents. We continue to build on this as our Jubilee community continues to grow.

Our Jubilee community helps unite us and gives us the opportunity to connect with our fellow residents; helping us reach for collective goals and feel safe and secure in our vibrant, vital and real neighbourhoods. At Jubilee, we celebrate our strong sense of community with engagement initiatives and events that allow residents to socialise, be interactive and rejoice, bringing our valued residents together and to further build on our spirit. It’s all about the little joys that make Jubilee your place to come to and call home!
