Services

Throughout the year we run a number of wellbeing programmes for women, men, and parents. These groups are designed to empower, upskill, and provide support for mild to moderate mental health. They are also designed to support parents and children, and provide a safe space to connect and learn. Information via the contact or registration page.

Free Public Advocacy Clinic 12pm-1.30pm every Thursday

CAB Clinic 12pm-1.30pm Wednesday (fortnightly)

JP Services 1pm-3pm every Wednesday

Cooking classes run throughout the year for a range of skill levels, including a ‘Men’s Cooking Group’. These classes are for those who want to connect, build life skills, learn new cooking techniques, learn new styles, and be exposed to flavours from other cultures and dietary requirements.

A computer is located at the righthand side of the main area in the centre and is available for the public to use and to print from (some charges may apply). If you need assistance a staff member or volunteer can support you.

An updated schedule of fitness classes will be published in the new year. To register your interest in low cost and free fitness classes and events, register your interest and use the ‘other’ category.

Getting back into fitness or connecting with others in a supportive environment can be hard, we offer free and affordable exercise options including pilates and boxfit. For more information contact us or register here.
