Neighbourhood Groups

CFUW Victoria gives you the opportunity to socialize with your neighbours. The Club’s membership is divided into a number of neighbourhoods, and members are assigned to a group based on where they live. Each neighbourhood group has a convenor who makes contact and helps the group plan activities.

These can include going to a restaurant, visiting local places of interest or going for a picnic. The neighbourhood groups allow people in geographically similar locations to keep in touch, develop and maintain friendships, and look after one another in a smaller group setting.
