The City of Melton will celebrate Neighbourhood House Week, inviting residents to come together to enjoy a variety of activities and workshops.
Neighbourhood House Week runs between May 9-15 and this year is themed around Building Resilience by Bringing People Together.
The council will offer workshops on soy candle making, native floral canvas art, winter gardening, chair yoga, writing non-fiction, macrame, line dancing and many more.
There will also be a Biggest Morning Tea event in Taylors Hill to raise funds for the Cancer Council on May 13.
City of Melton Mayor Cr Goran Kesic said this year’s theme was about celebrating harmonious and resilient communities like those in Melton.
“COVID-19 pandemic lockdowns have left many people feeling vulnerable and isolated,
“Our neighbourhood houses and community centres are working to rebuild those social connections that many people lost so that we can build stronger and more resilient communities than ever before,” Mayor Kesic said.
“Neighbourhood houses and community centres are the hearts of our communities and are
spaces where everyone can be involved and connect,
“There’s loads of fun, helpful and creative activities on every day at Neighbourhood Houses, so there’s something for everyone, of every age, and every ability.”
