Our Katherine Growing Stronger Community Space had a mini “glam up” last week thanks to the addition of some donated couches. Check out our video to see what’s new, or better yet, just come in! We are located at 42 Katherine Terrace (beneath the Big Rivers Child and Family Centre). The Growing Stronger Community Space is codesigned with community to empower people and promote wellbeing. It’s a non-judgemental and safe place where everyone is welcome to come spend time connecting, creating, yarning and finding supports as and when they need them. Our service is proudly operated by Judith and a local team between 9 am and 2 pm weekdays ♥️
