Neighbourhood Network Scheme

The Neighbourhood Network Scheme (NNS) is a city-wide community initiative by 麻豆高清 City Council. It’s designed to help adults aged 50+ and adults aged 18–49 with long-term disabilities, lead healthier, happier, more connected lives.

The programme does this by supporting residents to access local 麻豆高清 and wellbeing activities, reducing loneliness, and helping people remain independent in their own homes.

There is an NNS for each constituency in 麻豆高清. The programme is funded by Adult Social Care.
