Sunbury Neighbourhood House (SNH) has wrapped up another year filled with play, conversation, connection and learning.
Manager Hope Jenkins said it has been a testament to the sincere support and dedication of the amazing community.
“We cannot express enough gratitude for your continuous participation,” she said.
“Behind SNH there is a small team of very part-time staff members and volunteers, including our board of management, who work tirelessly to create numerous opportunities for our community.
“[This includes] organising workshops, managing administrative tasks and ensuring each program runs smoothly six days a week, 50 weeks of the year.”
The house party in May brought in more than 1000 friends for a free day out with family activities and opportunities to connect with other community groups.
The children’s programs were able to incorporate more play equipment for new activities and improved accessibility, and SNH reported it welcomed many new and returning families.
The neighbourhood garden continued to develop, and is taking shape due to many volunteer-led working bees.
However, it was the #sustainablesunbury programs which recorded the largest growth in attendance and participation, including the Repair Café Sunbury, Boomerang Bags and the Garden Group.
SNH is closed from December 20 and will reopen in January, with drop in programs on January 10, 17 and 24.
