Join Luise in august for this hands-on workshop. You’ll learn basic Macrame knotting techniques, and build a strong foundation in basic but essential macramé skills.

Make your own unique bottle holder that’s both practical and stylish. Not only will it make carrying your water more convenient, but it will also add a personal touch of whimsy to your everyday!

Basic Macrame skills are handy but not necessary for this workshop.

SIGN THE PETITION TO KEEP OUR DOORS OPEN

https://www.parliament.vic.gov.au/get-involved/petitions/neighbourhood-houses-funding/

Years of underfunding mean too many Houses are operating with limited staff and stretched resources — despite growing demand and a rise in complex safety issues, including mental health crises and instances of violence. Houses are being forced to cut open hours, reduce programs, or fundraise just to turn on the lights.

Unless government acts, more doors will close — and communities will lose trusted, safe and inclusive spaces they rely on every day.

This petition urgently calls for the Victorian Government to:
💙Restore funding in real terms for Neighbourhood Houses through a 25% increase
💛Fund the 25 Neighbourhood Houses that do not currently receive any ongoing funding
💗Develop a fund for the establishment of 20 additional Neighbourhood Houses in growth areas
