We often get asked what happens at the Neighbourhood Centre. The answer is a lot of everything, and more often than not, the programs and activities are born out of our conversations with community members and what they want to see happen at the Centre.
Do you or a group of people you know have concerns or ideas that you would like help raising? We can help! Are you from a local service or group that would like to collaborate on different community projects? We can help!
At the Neighbourhood Centre, we don't work for people; we work with people. We firmly believe that when we come together as a community, we can achieve amazing things.
Some community-led activities are coming up at the Neighbourhood Centre. As you are reading this, we would love if you could share your knowledge with your family and friends that could benefit from coming along.
Self Care and Mental Wellbeing Workshop
Join Ross Romeo (CORES) on Thursday, 12th September from 10am – 12pm
Explore the concept of self-care and mental wellbeing, identify personal signs of stress and simple strategies that can be used to manage individual stress levels on an everyday basis. There are workshops available until the end of the year – both during the day and in the evening.
SHInE (Seniors’ Health and Interactive Exercise Program)
Join Andrea Piotto for the next SHIne program starting September 30th and running for 8 weeks – Monday and Wednesdays. 11.15am – 12.00pm. You can choose to come once or twice a week. Cost is an upfront payment of $80 for 1 day a week or $160 for 2. We ask that interested people register and pay by 13th September. Lot’s of different ways to exercise – learn new skills, make new friends. Great fun!
Our support and social groups have all been initiated by locals who have lived experience or find joy in helping others to live their best lives. If this sounds something you would like to be involved in as well – don’t hesitate to call in and chat to us!
Until next time,
The Team
