20.01.2022 Railway House is now coordinating the drop off and pick up of hospital scrubs sewn by volunteer sewing angels for healthcare workers in Yarra. Lovely to meet four healthcare workers today, including Clare who works at the Royal Melbourne hospital. She loved her new scrubs!

13.01.2022 Lots of people out and about around the House today and a buzz in the air that was distinctly positive. Our Spoonville sign went up and some locals having a picnic at the House kindly made our first spoon residents. Volunteers were hard at work getting the new garden beds ready ahead of welcoming our first gardeners next week. #outoflockdown #goodvibes Neighbourhood Houses Victoria Clifton Hill / North Fitzroy Community Bank Branch

13.01.2022 Its getting a bit busier at the House! Today we had our brand new walking group The Jay Walkers and the Italian Dance group meet at the House. Customers at our fruit and veg stall, construction of the new community garden and a visit by our VCAL students made it feel almost like old times! #SteppingOut #GettingOnWithIt

13.01.2022 1000 postcards ready for delivery to Princes Hill residents!
