Planning a family event and wondering how to keep the little ones entertained? 🎈👶

At Thurgoona Community Centre, our hall is already a fantastic space to host your special celebrations—and it’s about to get even better for the toddlers and young kids!

We are incredibly grateful to AlburyCity for funding a brand-new soft fall surface in the fenced play area right next to the hall. To top it off, we’re currently sourcing some super fun play equipment so the kids can run, play, and stay safe while the grown-ups relax and enjoy the party.

Ready to host your next event with us?

On Friday, both our Ladies Chit Chat group and the Mates Morning Tea welcomed guest speaker Tess Scarfe, a dementia care consultant from Dementia in Community. Tess shared valuable insights into what dementia is, how it affects individuals, and practical ways we can support people living with dementia.

She engaged beautifully with both groups, answering questions and creating a safe space for learning and conversation.

We thank Tess for giving our participants this opportunity.
If you know or care for someone living with dementia, we encourage you to visit Tess’s website for further information and support.
