This week marks Neighbourhood Centre Week, running from 13 May to 19 May. It is a nationwide celebration highlighting the pivotal role of neighbourhood and community centres across Australia. In my electorate, we have the privilege of highlighting one such remarkable centre: Engadine Community Services. Since its establishment in 1971, the centre has been a cornerstone of our local community, tirelessly serving individuals from diverse backgrounds, connecting them, nurturing their growth and fostering a vibrant atmosphere of inclusivity and togetherness. Engadine Community Services epitomises the essence of community care, responding to the needs of vulnerable individuals by providing essential services, facilitating connections to support systems and offering a wide array of inclusive programs. Some of the programs include free tax help, a community library of DVDs and books, seniors programs like "Computing for Seniors", social exercise groups like tai chi, home visits, assisted shopping, volunteering information, kids playgroups and a comprehensive toy library. We extend our deepest gratitude to Engadine Community Services for its enduring commitment and compassionate efforts.
