Hi Everyone,
Welcome to North Melbourne Community Centre's first Quarterly Report! Going forward, we are excited to bring you all the latest news and events that are happening throughout the year at our centre.
Since reopening in January 2021 and returning to full business operations, we have welcomed 10 new ongoing user groups to our centre! These organisations have all brought so much positivity and fun to the community, so please join us in welcoming them.
- ARTS Bus
- African Community Elderly Association
- Craig Barlow Art Classes
- Eritrean Islamic Society Arabic Classes
- Jackson Ho Volleyball
- Life Community Kitchen
- On My Feet
- North Melbourne Language and Learning
- Sports Medicine Australia
- Westside Circus
We are thrilled with what each group brings to the community, and we hope you all enjoy their programs and services at our centre!
The months of March - June saw a number of amazing community events, including the Eritrean Community EID Festival which was a huge success. We thank everyone who helped contribute to this wonderful event.
In June, North Melbourne Community Centre established a fantastic partnership with Kinfolk Food Relief, which enables us to provide 80 free meals to the community each week. We are incredibly proud of this initiative, and we look forward to expanding it in future.
Centre management at NMCC has also continued to focus on a number of ongoing maintenance improvements over the past few months, and we hope you notice the positive changes we have been making to the centre during this time.
The upcoming redevelopment and closure of Kensington Community Recreation Centre on September 1st means some potentially exciting changes coming to NMCC, including new operating hours, new gym equipment, new group fitness classes and more.
We will be sure to keep the community updated as these changes come into effect.
To discuss all things NMCC, you can always contact us on 93204700 or email me at christopher.harding@ymca.org.au.
All the best,
Chris Harding
Centre Director, North Melbourne Community Centre
