Creating Connections

Community Engagement

The success of our community depends on the connection and sense of belonging that we have to the people and places around us.

We’re All About

Empowering People

We deliver an extensive range of practical short courses, workshops and seminars designed to alleviate social isolation and depression, create a sense of belonging in the community, upskill participants, enhance wellbeing and promote positive mental health.

Information & Referral

Our Neighbourhood Centre located in Kogarah is a welcoming place connecting you to local services (link here to referral pathways). We provide assistance, referral and information to people in the community who are vulnerable, in need and with a particular focus on those at risk of social isolation.

Celebrating Community

We organise fun activities and events celebrating the diversity, talents and generosity of our community; from dance festivals to film screenings, an amazing race to winter sleep outs, we have something to interest everyone.

You guys do an amazing job! In a world where it’s so easy to become selfish and self-absorbed, you care about ensuring others are cared for and have the opportunities to care for themselves.

Thank you so much for a very informative and well-presented session on how to manage sugar in our daily diets. I know we all (my family and my work colleagues who came with me) learned a lot from the session and will definitely think twice about our next ‘healthy’ snack or meal choice! It was certainly an eye-opener!

Thank you to all the hard working Kogarah community services staff who organized such a wonderful event for a great cause yesterday afternoon. No rain or thunder and lightning was going to stop anyone from dancing for such a great cause...
