The event will run from 10am to noon at 88 King Street, Gloucester and will showcase the many services on offer. A common thread that runs through every Centre is their inclusive nature: anyone and everyone is welcome, and members of the community are encouraged to help in the Centre’s organisation, management and use. All this makes Neighbourhood Centres real hubs of their community, places where friendships are formed and nurtured, and where people of all ages and all walks of life can really feel that they belong.

Centres "connect the disconnected" by creating opportunities for people, normally isolated or marginalised through life circumstances, to come together and build stronger bonds with the broader community. This could be through volunteering, participating in an activity or being part of the leadership team or just making new friends. These social connections create the building blocks for strong, resilient communities that can handle community crises or support the most vulnerable families and children.

All Centre’s offer activities, programs and services to support social inclusion and advocate for a civil society where everyone belongs. Come and grab a bite to eat prepared by our Blueprint training kitchen, have some fun and enjoy the day.
