Creating Capable Communities

 

Community Houses

 

Part of the Creating Capable Communities integrated strategy includes Community Houses. These are safe, secure, relaxed places where:

  • Mums, dads, grandparents and carers go to make friends, join play groups and develop skills;

  • Family Life staff and volunteers promote children’s wellbeing and development;

  • Staff and volunteers help parents to build local networks of support.

 

Family Life has established Community Houses at: 

  • 12 Keith Street Hampton East

  • 199 Bluff Road Sandringham

 

The Community Houses are fundamental to assisting local people to maintain and develop community networks, friendships and a sense of belonging.
