24.01.2022 Good Afternoon All, I hope you're all well. We just wanted to notify you all that due to the COVID 5 Day Lockdown that is being implemented as of 11.59pm tonight until 11.59pm Wed 17th Feb 2021, we will be suspending our Hopeworks programs for Mon, Tues and Wed next week. Given how unpredictable these circumstances are, we just wanted to let you all know, regardless of whether your program falls on Mon-Wed or not, to be cautious of this lockdown extending any longer.... This lockdown includes Regional as well as Metro-Melb. For those who are unaware of the restrictions, I have copied and pasted below: The restrictions include: There will only be four reasons to leave your home shopping for necessary supplies, care or caregiving, permitted work or education that cannot be done from home and exercise for two hours a day. The 5km travel rule will again apply, with Victorians not allowed to travel further from their home without a permitted reason. Exercise will be permitted with household members, an intimate partner or one other person. Masks must be worn everywhere other than inside your home. No visitors will be allowed to homes. Public gatherings are not permitted. Crowds will also be banned from the Australian Open. If you can work from home, then you must work from home. Schools will close but will remain available over those three days Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday for vulnerable children or for the children of those who are permitted to go to work. Child care and early childhood centres will remain open. Universities and higher education facilities are closed. Religious gatherings and ceremonies are not permitted and places of worship are closed other than for broadcasting of services. Funerals can involve no more than 10 people, both indoors and outdoors. Weddings are not permitted unless on compassionate grounds. Hairdressing and beauty services will be closed. Real estate auctions and inspections, unless online, cannot occur. Gyms, pools, community centres, entertainment venues and libraries will close. All non-essential retail will close, but essential stores like supermarkets, bottle shops and pharmacies will remain open. Cafes and restaurants will only be able to offer takeaway. Hotel and accommodation providers will be able to stay open to support guests already staying onsite. No new bookings can be made. We will be available for contact via phone or email during this time. Again, we will keep in contact but please just assume that as of Thursday, programs will be continuing unless advised otherwise. Please stay safe and let us know if there's anything we can do. Thanks!

23.01.2022 Hi Everyone! Please don't forget that I am currently raising money for Breast Cancer by committing to 55 squats every day for the month of March 2021. My goal is to hit $1k and I'm half way there! Thank you so much to everybody who has supported me and for those who would like the chance to donate, please click the link below. Any donation, big or small, means a great deal! https://fundraise.nbcf.org.au/fundraisers/melissalechte Have a great day everybody!

22.01.2022 Good Afternoon, We are pleased to announce that as of tomorrow, the 18th Feb 2021, we will be re-opening as per Premier Andrews' advice today. Masks are still required to be worn and all COVID measures are still in place. Look forward to seeing you soon!

20.01.2022 Good Afternoon, Please see our 'Moe Bazaar and Thrift Shop' regarding this post. It is quite disappointing however our Op Shop is reopening in 2021, in accordance with COVID-19 regulations of course! If you are making donations, please be considerate with how you leave them and what you leave. If it is just trash, please just take it to the tip or dispose of it appropriately. We are happy to help but would appreciate some thought in return. Have a great day!

20.01.2022 We would like to send a big shout out to the Pakenham Commonwealth Bank! After such a hard year, it is so incredibly worth it when the community notice how hard we are working to make it all happen. We were surprised to find out that we were nominated for a Community Grant last week and was delivered this today! Thanking EVERYBODY who has stuck by us throughout the years and we would like you all to know that we really appreciate it and it keeps us going even when it gets tough!

18.01.2022 Good Evening All, Our Workplace Trainer and Admin Officer, Mel, has committed to doing 55 squats per day in the month of March to raise funds for an incredibly good cause. Mel would appreciate ANY donation, big or small, to help her raise funds for Breast Cancer Research. If you'd like too, please copy and paste the link below to donate.... We hope you all have a great night! https://fundraise.nbcf.org.au//meli/the-55-squat-challenge

15.01.2022 Good Afternoon Everybody! We have seen that ALDI have currently been under scrutiny regarding their food waste. As a company, we really feel that we have been supported by ALDI for the last 5 years. ALDI provides us the opportunity to use that food waste to create meals for those in need, as well as provide fruit and vegetables to those who can't usually afford a huge grocery shop. We have felt really supported and encouraged by them to continue giving back to the community i...n the way that we can. We have always had a great, positive and active relationship with ALDI! On another note, we would like to let you all know that our Pakenham Campus opens to all new students on the 3rd Feb 2021. We look forward to meeting you all. If you could please arrive around 9.30am, that would be great! Have a great day!

13.01.2022 REMINDER: We will NOT be open tomorrow due to Stage 4 lockdown. Please communicate this with anyone doing our program if you chat with them! Thank you and stay safe. We hope to see you all again Friday!

06.01.2022 The mask rules have been a little bit confusing since our update on the weekend. We hope this helps settle some of the confusion for you all!
