21.01.2022 Neighbourhood houses are a 400+ strong army across Victoria, battling loneliness and social isolation - not just during COVID-19, but all year round. When we su...rveyed over 47,000 participants recently, the data told us what we already suspected: Neighbourhood houses are essential for social connection. Its not everywhere you can walk in unannounced, have a cuppa and a chat, free of fear or judgement. With this years Neighbourhood House Week theme being Loneliness: the solution is community, were proud to release a new report on this issue. It focuses on the human, social and economic costs of loneliness and social isolation, the risk factors and barriers to connection, and the impact neighbourhood houses have on a participants sense of belonging and connection.

Theyve already diverted 13,000kg of socks, and with our help, they can keep even more textiles from landfill. Any items in good condition will be donated to charity and remaining items will be repurposed or recycled. Find out more at manrags.com.au/clothing-recycling/

17.01.2022 When a person has a sudden cardiac arrest, the golden time to save lives is only 4 minutes.

14.01.2022 Greetings everyone from Waverley Community Learning Centre. There have been quite a few enquiries with regard to current scheduling of classes at the centre. Due to the current Victorian Government restrictions and social distancing measures, we can only have 20 students in the building at one time. This means that currently only certain classes that could not be conducted online are being held at the centre. From 22nd June the further easing of restrictions will be announce...d by the Victorian Government. All eased restrictions and proposed dates are subject to Government guidelines. We will keep everyone up to date with regard to class scheduling for term 3. We hope everyone is keeping well and we cant wait to see smiling faces back at the centre when it is possible. In the meantime why not embrace the winter sunshine. If anyone does have any queries please feel free to contact the office on 9807 6011

09.01.2022 Our Water Exercise class started yesterday at Monash Aquatic Centre. Free of charge for Australian citizens who are over 65 years old. #ACTIVENEIGHBOURHOOD##KEEPHEALTHY##EXERCISE#

09.01.2022 TODAY IS R U OK? DAY This year has been challenging for all of us and that's why its important we stay connected and check-in on those who might be struggling. By reaching out could be enough to change someone's day and could even change their life for the better. Make time and choose a channel of communication that works for you and them. It may be that one phone call, zoom chat, text message or a talk over the fence or when out walking that makes all the difference. Let's all look after one another.

08.01.2022 As Victoria starts to return to a greater level of normalcy, let's not forget the community-based organisations like neighbourhood houses who refused to throw i...n the towel during this state's darkest days. We are so proud of the life-impacting contributions neighbourhood houses have made throughout 2020, during bushfires and the global pandemic. We know thousands of Victorians are very grateful to them. Please share and thank our incredible staff and volunteers.

08.01.2022 I know you're all keen to see what's changing so I'll cut right to it. Thanks to the efforts of every Victorian, there are some things we can do now and do ...safely. From 11.59pm tonight we'll make some changes for metro Melbourne that help us reconnect with friends and family and spend more time with the ones we miss, and the people we love. Then from 11.59pm on 1 November, we'll take the rest of the Third Step. That means some more easing around visitors at home, retail and hospo, religious gatherings, personal training and workplaces and outdoor community sport will restart. We may be able to bring some of these changes forward slightly, depending on the numbers and health advice and I'll have an update for you on how we're going next weekend. We'll make some further changes in regional Victoria over the two weeks too including increasing the limits for religious gatherings, pubs and restaurants, and getting kids back to indoor sport. I know this isn't everything everyone wanted but our plan was always going to follow the advice of our public health experts. And I'm not pretending that this makes everything better for every Victorian either. Some people would rather the entire state opened yesterday. I get it. Nothing about this is easy. But after everything we've sacrificed, we can't afford to risk it all now. Our focus needs to be on keeping cases down and transmission low. That means keep getting tested, following the health advice and playing it safe. We've come so far and we are so close to seeing this through. And it's all thanks to you.
