Neighbourhood house week!
This week is Neighbourhood House Week, a great week to stop and reflect on all the fabulous things we do, and remember why we do them!
At ACC we hope to contribute to creating and supporting a strong and connected community … and along the way we want to:
Enable individuals to live well, and lead healthy, active, creative and sustainable lives
Nurture community connections, and
Action a fairer society for all.
Our program of events and activities all contribute to achieving this overarching goal (our vision) and these objectives.
For example, our Arty Gardening program encourages participants to live more sustainably, be creative and get outdoors and do some physical activity through gardening. It ticks lots of boxes!
Our Ukulele Group enables people to live well by learning new skills and doing something they love, encourages creativity through music and enables participants to make friends with fellow musicians.
Our food collection for the Asylum Seeker Resource Centre is all about playing a part in actioning a fairer society for all.
And we run our weekly morning teas to nurture community connections between locals. We also sell the Friends of Baucau coffee to nurture community connections - at the organisational level - connecting ACC with the Friends of Baucau. And … by selling the coffee via Juliet at the milkbar we are also creating a meaningful three-way partnership/community connection and supporting her small and valued local business along the way. Wins all round right!
This week to celebrate neighbourhood house week we thought you might like to join us for morning tea on Friday. If you are around please come along from 11.30am for a cuppa, some cake and a chat. We’d love to see you!
