NEIGHBOURHOOD HOUSE WEEK - 10 to 17 May

‘Bringing People Together - from your neighbourhood to your
nation’ - that’s the theme for Neighbourhood House Week 2019,
taking place from 10 to 17 May.

The week provides a great opportunity for the Centre to celebrate
and showcase some of our diverse offerings, not just to those
who already attend, but to those in the community who may not
yet be aware of what we have to offer. We are presenting a mix of
long-standing favourites and some new activities which we hope
will join that category.
