A new garden project, named S.A.V.E, is planned in the Market
Stall area where people flock on Fridays, as well as space for the rooftop
garden. Here locals can help develop and share transferable skills in
creating their own home deck gardens and learn sustainability principles and
practices.
Trial Cooking Classes began on Monday mornings in September, as well
as the regular Financial Planning counselling services with the Salvation Army’s
MoneyCare outreach program. An Alcoholics Anonymous group meets on Tuesdays, and on Thursdays
there’s a $6.50 Big Breakfast!
Music lessons are available and a Card-making Club, with a
resident artist, happens on Wednesdays. English Language Conversational support
classes also form part of these new initiatives enabling local residents of all
abilities and ages to gain extra help in job seeking, resume preparation plus Internet
and computer skills.

Kids Drama Club afternoon classes occur from 3.30-4.30pm daily and
artist’s spaces can be rented for creative projects. Just drop by during the
day when it suits you and chat with the many friendly volunteers, or the
resident caseworker Jo (96983586), or the program coordinator Lauren (0478 302
429).
