The newest star on the block will be our S.H.I.N.E Program (Seniors’ Health and Interactive Exercise Program).  Starting Monday 8th July running for 8 weeks.

We are also home to a number of local community groups that offer opportunities to learn, be social and support each other:
   • Burdekin Mahjong Players
   • Burdekin 4WD Club
   • Burdekin Games Society – Dungeons and Dragons / Warhammer
   • Aglow

The Neighbourhood Centre works closely with other services in our region to provide a space so that our community can access local based support.

Al-Anon
Australian Hearing
54 Reasons Playgroup
Feros Care
My Pathway
Women’s Centre
APM
DYNAH (Counselling)

The Centre always looks forward to talking with community and discovering where we can help fill gaps.  We don’t have all the answers, however, we know that by working together with fellow community members we can make the Burdekin a better place to live.  

Pop in for a cuppa – you bring the ideas – we bring the ears!  
Until next time,

The Team
Burdekin Neighbourhood Centre
