25.01.2022 So great to welcome our community back to our activities! For the moment, these include - walking groups on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, Tai Chi on Mondays, Shake It up on Thursdays, Live Longer Live Stronger with Cameron and Yoga with Jo. The Stadium Walkers (Tuesdays 10am - 11am) is self-led group and ideal for those who need to walk on an even surface, or prefer to walk out of the weather. Art Workshops with Jos are also back in full swing, as is Drawing Workshops w...ith Leigh, and a shorter program for Botanical Drawing. Lovely Marilyn, Psychologist, is continuing to work out of the Centre, and 'Time to Talk', a free program for people who just want to have a confidential chat with a professional is still operating. More programs coming back progressively, and dates being set for First Aid, First Aid Re-accreditation, Responsible Service of Alcohol ... we'd love to have your expression of interest to be involved. Please call us 5984 3360 during office hours!

Sorrento Community Centre is now a drop off point. Even though we are closed for activities, our foyer is open for you to drop by and donate some dry goods to supplement the fresh food - and we'll pass along to those in need (and don't forget to keep within your 5km limit!). W...hat's needed? Cereal, Long Life Milk, pasta, rice, flour (plain and SR), tea bags, tins of tomatoes, tuna, fruit, baked beans. We hope you agree that we are a stronger community when everyone is included and there’s never been a better time than now for us all to come together, connect with others, and help to do our bit to make our community even better. We know how generous our community is ...... we look forward to your involvement. Thank you!
