Having a little something for everyone, the Berwick Neighbourhood Centre will hold several events for the remainder of the month, with a Clothes Swap on 26 April and a Retirement Village presentation on 29 April.
The community hub offers many services, activities and support services that cater to every member of the local community, with staff that aim to be “just like a good neighbour”.
The neighbourhood centre has two locations; 112 High Street which includes their Children’s Services and Senior Citizens Building, and 20-26 Parkhill Drive with Timbarra Community Centre, hall, and the community garden.
The children’s services at High Street offer a warm and welcoming environment that accommodates children new to childcare but also includes programs such as their three-year-old Play and Grow initiative.
The Timbarra location also provides a similar environment, with facilitated, age-based playgroups that offer a wide range of activities, from exercise classes to crafts and playgroups as well as the community garden with accompanying workshops.
Going for over 30 years, the Berwick Activities Club is also part of the centre, with social activities, outings, carpet bowls, dancing and many more to offer.
A knitting group is also part of the BNC, whose skills, work and time are put towards producing garments for a range of charities and children in need.
Further upcoming events include the Mother’s Day high tea on Thursday 9 May, which will be presented by the Berwick branch of the CWA.
