Together, we can build connection, reduce isolation and provide a positive future for our community.

We offer lots of different activities to help people settle in and find their feet, including:

• Community Meals Program - a space to prepare food and share cultural cuisine
• Excursions - family friendly experiences showcasing all that Melbourne has to offer
• Practical Support - including assistance with food, housing, material aid, transport and referrals.

If you have hidden talent that we could add to our activities list or would like to support our meals program we can support a flexible and rewarding experience.
