Thanks so much to everyone that braved the heat - stallholders, staff, makers and volunteers. So lovely to see these events pop up in our neighbourhood!

We appreciate all those that spared the time to complete the online survey this week. As you will be aware, the survey was interested in whether neighbourhood houses help people build stronger community connections.

The information is being consolidated by NHVic - our peak body, and will then be forwarded on to the State Government, who provide nearly 500 neighbourhood houses across Victoria with base funding.
