Huge thank you to everyone that came to our A(mazing)GM last night!

Special thank you to our outgoing board members for all their hard work and a big warm hello to our new ones.

We had a beautiful night of song, snacks and stories from community members as well as a bit of financial formalities!

It’s been a fantastic year and we’re looking forward to the exciting times ahead. We’ve got a lot coming up, including our next Strategic Plan so please keep an eye on socials and emails for updates.

Swipe through to hear the sweet sounds we can create together!

We have a new addition to our NECCHi East Coburg house!

Today, we re-constructed our Zome,
a gorgeous wooden frame that will become a space for connection, creativity and collaboration with local community members and artists.

A huge shout-out to Ria Soemardjo, Adam and all the wonderful artists who came along to lend a hand. What a fantastic team effort, especially in this unseasonably warm weather! ☀️🙏🏻

We can’t wait to see all the beautiful things that will grow from this space! 🌱

🌱 A full-circle moment! 🥬

This week, the Arabic Women’s Group harvested rocket from the garden to add to their delicious brunch!

A few months ago, they planted the seeds and seedlings with our wonderful Garden Coordinator, Sabina, and today they’re enjoying the fruits (and greens!) of their labour.

Fresh from the garden to the table, it doesn’t get much better than that! 🌿

💛 Celebrating our community 💛

Last Thursday, NECCHi staff, facilitators, garden group members and participants came together to celebrate local achievements at the Merri-bek Council Community Awards.

While we didn’t take home any awards this time, it was a wonderful evening celebrating community, connection and all that we’ve achieved together. We’re so proud of the people and programs that make NECCHi such a special place!

A special shout-out to Craig from Unfurl, Georgia from Weaving Country, and our Newlands Garden Groups for their nominations.

What a wonderful recognition of the contributions you make to our community!

You’re all winners in our eyes!

Thank you for everything you do and for being part of the NECCHi community.

It was such an honour to see our very own NECCHi facilitator Georgia Boseley shine bright as part of Deadly Fringe at Koorie Heritage Trust!

Georgia’s work is a poignant and powerful blend of clay, wood and weaving, exploring themes of connection, disconnection and the ongoing process of repair in the wake of colonisation.

We’re lucky to have Georgia as part of our NECCHi community and to witness her creative journey unfold. 💛

Congratulations Georgia on a beautiful exhibition!

Exciting NECCHi News!

We’ve got a new face around the house, Kee’ahn, who is stepping into the Admin Assistant role! We couldn’t be more elated to have them on board, she’s written a few lovely words for you all.

Yalada, I’m Kee’ahn and I’m the new Administration Assistant at NECCHi 💚

I’m a Kuku Yalanji, Jirrbal, Badhulayg jalbu from North Queensland and my pronouns are she/they.

Merri-bek and Wurundjeri biik have been my home for almost a decade now and I’ve been lucky to work with people across First Nations spaces, music, theatre, and disability support. You might see some murals around town that I’ve helped paint too!

In my spare time, I love making music, caring for Country, being in and learning everything I can about the ocean, and sometimes playing ridiculous amounts of basketball.

I value building community and creating spaces that bring people together, honouring ourselves and honouring the land we’re on - so I feel super grateful to be a part of the NECCHi team.

My first week here has been wonderful and exciting. Thank you to everyone I’ve met so far for warmly welcoming me.

I’m super keen to connect, contribute and meet more of the NECCHi community. Come say hi!
