Community Support
Volunteering is a great way to connect with and contribute to your local community, learn new skills and make friends. It can also help to build self confidence when job seeking and our positions satisify Centrelink's voluntary work requirements.
Our committed team of volunteers assist the running of the House in a fun and social atmosphere. Come and join us!
If you would like to volunteer, please contact us 9434 6717
Our Little Library is accessible 24/7 at the front of the house. Take a Book. Return a Book.
We have recently updated our WiFi and the coverage is amazing. Bring your own device and utilise this service from within the house and garden.
Our Community Cupboard is topped up each Monday and Wednesday with essential items for those in need. We welcome donations for both Wednesday Food Relief and the Community Cupboard. We have a donation tub on the porch, or contact us for larger donations.

We are surrounded by beautiful gardens for our community to enjoy. Our native garden includes a dry creek bed and rocks for exploring, a majestic gum (home to many local birds), lots of garden seating and accessible walkways for our community to enjoy all year round. We have raised wicking beds growing a range of herbs and vegetables, from which the community are welcome to help themselves. Our cottage garden is a pretty and relaxing space surrounded by roses and flowers and is a perfect spot to have a cuppa. Our community gardens are wonderful spaces to gather, share and learn and volunteers are always welcome to assist in the maintenance of the garden.
