About Us
Each week we estimate that around 1000 people engage with Alphington Community Centre (ACC).
We deliver programs and services across the neighbourhood from 9am to 9pm weekdays, typically running playgroups and other activities for young families in the morning and then a series of activities for older community members in the afternoon and into the evening, including meals, art and craft groups, counselling, choir, ukulele, book clubs and more. On weekends ACC is hired for children’s birthday parties and hosts creative workshops and community events.
And, every day, people in the neighbourhood drop past and make themselves at home - utilising our play spaces, community tables, community herb gardens, book library, seed library, table tennis table … some even try to get a hole in one on our mini golf green. And lots of people engage with our ever changing community art projects on the street.
At ACC, individual and organisational partnerships are at the core of our ability to deliver. Approximately 25 volunteers help in some way each week. Some run programs such as line dancing. Others knit for charity, help cook and serve meals, maintain our lovely outdoor spaces and/or help out at events.
And each month we work with around 20 community organisations. These include Darebin Libraries to facilitate our book clubs, the Asylum Seeker Resource Centre for whom we are a collection point for emergency food relief and the Alphington Bowls Club, our wonderful partners who help us deliver our access all abilities bowls program.
